Hello, I dug out Rancilio Audrey, and don't have any problem with the front half of the basket wetting first, useing the M3. Apparantly I need to fine tune my own skills to match the Brewtus. I do have trouble level tamping(my hands are numb) that could be my culprit, although I have been watching that.
My p/f holder keeps the std issue portifilters held up nicely, but the heavy LM droops a little. As long as the symmetry of the sprayed grounds isn't affected, there are none that go outside the basket.So no big deal, I guess.
I find the grounds so fluffy that they are piled high in my basket, and even after screeding NSEW to fill the center, there is a lot of coffee still piled up, so I use a straight down tap to settle the grounds before tamping. I will experiment with a deeper basket, but my headspace could get excessive that way.
In all, it really has a nice grind and I am glad I bought one. - Dennis
