Yeah. It's a bit wasteful though.
Also watch that your machine is pouring at the optimum temperature. If its a cheaper machine like a Gaggia Classic, then try brewing when the machine's "brew ready" light has just illuminated, after a good twenty minute warm up.
Super market beans generally aren't very good. There are some which are ok (like Union, some Waitrose and M&S beans) but if you buy them then you really need to know how to read the super secret packing date code on the bag in order to ensure freshness.
