Help me out folks... I feel I can't pull the amazing shots that you'd expect from a speciality cafe that truly knows there coffee. I am wondering have I maxed out the potential out of the Em6910, as my coffees are great, just not amazing 
I've had the sunbeam em6910 for the last 3-4 years. And with all this self isolation covid shenanigans, I've really honed in on my espresso game.
I'm pulling 1:2 shots out in 28 secs consistent, I've done it with different beans (freshly roasted - dukes coffee, symmetry coffee roasters). I've varied extraction time and volumes, but I can't seem to get that underlying strength and taste of the bean you get after taking your first sip and letting the milk flavour pass, followed by that strong bean taste.
I've got a breville smart grinder to combo with the sunbeam.
I'm wondering if what I'm after can only come from those prosumer coffee machines.
Thoughts folks? Am I due for an upgrade?
