We have a similar Breville for more than a few years. No complaints. I buy whole been light espresso roast and the wife and I have a fresh ground double shot Americano with a dash of cream each morning. We are happy.
I have been around peers who slide down the slippery slope of finding their perfection over a simple shot of espresso. It is very slick and costs and time come into play if you are not careful. We love good food, nice wine, and a great jolt in the morning. Only hope the OP does not follow the rabbit hole to "if only it could be better". Drive over to your local 7/11 and drink a cup of their swill for a correction. Your brew, on it's worst day, blows that stuff out of the water.
