Thanks. I had a feeling was running the shots too long.
I'm thinking about a bottomless portafilter to better monitor things until I get it down a little better.
All in all, I feel my coffee is superior to any I would buy at a Starbucks as well as most dining establishments I have visited.
On a side note, the economy claimed a friend's restaurant and pub and he has a really nice machine and Mazzer grinder and is offering it up at the "make an offer" price. he doesn't want to split them and the machine is one of those huge commercial ones with the fancy brass top things and it scares me a little.
