La Pavoni Europiccola grouphead screen dripping

Help with messy pucks

OK a bit of update here. It does look like I am a little over-sensitive and in the process of debugging the problem I may have inadvertently changed my own routine. I followed the advice and left the puck sit before taking the PF out this morning, and the puck came out in one neat piece. I

Help with messy pucks

Actually forgot to mention, I also tried lighter tamp and harder tamp. It may be my imagination since my taste buds are not that sensitive and I mix with milk.
