Hotels and resorts here leave signs by the sink letting guests know the yellow water is safe and won't hurt you. I pretty much go through a gallon of purified water every 3 days although Thursday, with company will go through a gallon in the day. Carlos, if you are getting watery shots, you are either tamping too lightly or need finer grinds. Your extraction is off. watery is not something I would attribute to a proper shot, in fact syrupy is better. this video pretty much shows what a perfect shot should look like in color, consistency and extraction.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6-BP...eature=related

Thanks Pete.
Mine definitely not coming out like that. Need to toy with it but enough espresso for one day. Will try again in the a.m.

Not sure what I am doing wrong. Need some advice/help before I decide to send this thing back.
I have watched all the videos out there. My coffee does not come out hot enough and no matter how much I tamper it, still not anywhere close to what I see on videos. Mine is more watery. Once in a while I can nail down hotter than usual but still not what I would expect out of this unit. I may very well end up with a PID at the rate this is going, before I decide to can this thing and go back to a $100 Krups from Bed, Bath and Beyond. Frankly, that made the very same coffee for a fraction of the cost. Here is the one I have followed mostly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7Bn5IjZht8
