ok im sure a few of you were aghast to read that, first up yes i will keep cleaning it 
having a few dramas though, i put the blind filter in and backflush after every use and do the once a week backflush with cleaning powder but for some reason my extractions blow out to double the volume after cleaning with the powder which i did for the second time yesterday
oh i flush with plenty of water after the powder
the first time being very inexperienced, after throwing the seasoning shot followed by 2 doubles down the sink i adjusted the grind which settled things down but a day later i was back at my original grind point and all was well
well pretty well much the same thing again yesterday, cleaned the machine, had a gusher seasoning shot and then had to chase my tail and still havent arrived back at a consistent shot but then again im pretty well hung over from coffee yesterday, just about nipped up actually
only thing i can put this down to is a pressure related issue, i notice after cleaning the water tends to throw out the portafilter spouts rather than the usually dribble into the drip tray
anyone else experience anything similar ?
