argh same issue...just upgraded my old Breville Café Venezia BES250 to a Sunbeam EM7000 and can not for the life of me make a good coffee on this thing.
Switched from the single shot to double shot and I am much closer to what I was getting on the Breville, but its much stronger (more bitter and less creme) than I was used to as I think the basket is much bigger.
Using fresh beans roasted a few days ago and Sunbeam EMO440 to grind.
Should I be using the 2 cup auto program thing ?

But bitter taste implies over-extracted - how long is it taking to get your shot and how big is the shot in the double? Is the crema good?
