Hi SMMMB,
I started out with the same combo, the Bambino with the SGP. I was generally around grind setting 12 with fresh beans. Makes me wonder if the grinder is set differently, per level3ninja's comment above.
Edited to add:
I now use the Breville single wall double basket with 16g (wife does the single wall single basket with 9g) and this works out ok. I do have a different grinder now. Is making me think the volume of coffee is not the thing affecting your results.
