That could well be it then. Thanks for the info. I’ll try and be less of an enthusiast until I can snag a different setup.

You should be able to get depressurised baskets for your machine and do some simple upgrades, this article helped me do some mods, admittedly I have this very machine but there won't be anything stopping you doing similar things to your machine.

Are you using the pressurised basket? If you grind too fine and/or tamp too hard they clog up, they're designed to give a consistent shot with minimal effort. If you want any control you'll have to swap it for an unpressurised basket.
