Everything about this espresso machine was enjoyable, but I unable to get espresso hot enough.
Everything about this espresso machine was enjoyable, but I unable to make (properly extracted) good espresso. I tried letting the water get hot for 5/10 minutes before pulling my shot, but no matter what I did, the espresso shot was under/extracted every time (sour taste). I tried a finer setting. I tried tamping it harder (with a legit tamper, not just the plastic one that comes with the machine). Same result. Another indication the water wasnt getting hot enough is the espresso (and the milk) would be lukewarm right after making it. So in the end, I sent it back.
