This is a good idea- ‘choke’ the shot (so fine that you only get a couple of drips out of the portafilter) then work backwards to find a good level. Gushing shots never taste good but over-extracted ones can often be ok or rescued with milk.
Yup, this is what I went for. Waaaay better this morning but yeah need to dial it back down.
