Too Much Coffee

Hi I have had this machine for about 2 months. Still trying to get nice coffee from it. I wanted to know if the water should spray out from the screen like a shower head with pressure water spraying from every hole or more a sort of running through where the water runs together on the screen before falling down. Hope you understand what I mean. Does any one know of a video of what it should look like.
Thank you.

Hi Ron, welcome to TMC The flow of water from the shower screen will look different under different conditions. A clean shower screen will look something like this:

When the screen has coffee oils on it the flow will tend to collect together and leave the screen in a combined stream. If the group is too hot water may flash to steam behind the shower screen which would result in spraying water and steam.

Whilst looking for the above video I came across the following showing the process for cleaning the shower screen and plate:

If you are still unhappy with the flow after cleaning the screen the next thing to try would be descaling the machine.

As usual, I agree with GreenBean above. Let us know if you get it sorted satisfactorily.
