I just started working with my new machine, the la cimbali M22. I'm having a few issues that I'm sure is probably me but want to rule out other things I may be overlooking. I'm very new to the industry.......I grind my espresso, load the porta filter......my shots start in approx 5 seconds......look great then start dripping after a few seconds. I've tried making my grind coarser.....tamping less, etc. Any suggestions? Also, during backflushing, water leaks all over the countertop.....the place where I purchased it from said its just the tubes behind the front panel not hitting the drip tray. Any suggestions would be most helpful....its getting a little frustrating. :-) Thanks
