It tastes actually pretty good, considering they're fairly cheap beans from Solimo bought in 5kg batches and just a medium-dark roast. Grinding finer is my next step as I don't want to go too big with the dose. I wondered if it is the grounds swelling during the pull, which means the gaps get bigger and there's less restriction for the water.
Machine is a Gaggia Classic with filtered water. I haven't noticed it being too fussy needing really fresh beans unless it is a light roast.
