While it's not exactly the same, with La Pavoni lever machines it's common to grind slightly coarser and use a little less pressure as otherwise there's a tendency for the water to channel around the outside of the puck. I've yet to do a side-by-side (or even measure the pressure I'm putting through) so can't give anything definitive there.
