I am thinking more and more it's only going to come down to the beans. I have my packing/tamping down. Fill half, tamp hard, fill 3/4, tamp light. That produces a good cup.

the crema the machine puts out is great. I turn the machine on, put the cup in and let it sit for 10 minutes. The coffee it puts out is good, it's just not the flavor I can remember, which I think must be the beans then.

Going to the North End (Italian restaurant nirvana) this weekend, will try at least 2 restaurants.

There is every chance this older Saeco will put out the espresso I want when I find the right beans.
