Pressure: it could be.

I once had my pressure bypass go bad, it shunts pump overpressure back to the reservoir. I had to keep dialing grind back to get anything out and I was getting these sour mousey little shots.

In my case it was a spring plunger bypass between the pump and the brew head, whole thing was wrecked inside so plunger couldn't make a seal. I replaced it and all was instantly well.

I've no idea how an electra works, is there a pressure bypass? If its a lever can you make shot go faster by pulling harder? Could it be the spring has broken?
