Hi I am new to this board and new to espresso machines. I just bought a Bezzera BZ02 DE. I am finding it very difficult to get consistently good espresso shots. This is compounded by the fact that it is very difficult to place the portafilter under the group head, it takes fairly extreme force even with a smaller dose than recommended at the shop where I bought it. I was told at the shop I bought it at that the group head would "loosen" up after use - its been 2 weeks now and the only thing I have at the moment is a very sore arm. Is this a common problem with this model?
One other thing I have noticed is that once the PF is dosed, tamped, etc and placed under the group head, I get quite a loud (mettalic sounding) rattle when producing the espresso shot. When I replace an empty PF under the group head there is no such rattle.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
