Daughter bought one for when she moves to her house. The issue is when she grinds and tamps the coffee itself is quite acidic. It comes out at 164* through the grounds into the cup, but the hot water comes out 1t 182*. I assume the colder temp is because the grounds absorb some of the heat. She has only tried one specific coffee which is not a true dark roast.

Next step? Different roast? She ordered an espresso roast to try. If it were a drip machine I would say too little beans or too cold, but I know little about these machines.

There are enough of you here with similar machines I figured the answer would be easier than Reddit or worse.
