I am unable to get a good shot (strong/crema) of late with this machine. The frothing wand works great so I guess the boiler is working. I have ground the coffee as fine as is possible and use a lot of pressure tamping it into the portafilter.
Any thoughts.

Sorry, you haven't given us much to go on. Could be stale coffee, a poor grinder, bad technique, or a combination of these. Have you perused the Recommended Reading in the FAQs and Favorites?
