Olympia Cremina lever questions after group gasket replacement
No. This is not a machine issue at all. Given you are using supermarket coffee of unknown origins, I feel confident advising you to go find some beans that have been roasted in the last two weeks. You can buy them online from a reputable roaster, swing by a coffee shop that will sell single bags, or...

Downgrading from Slayer. Options sought.
You need to find a way to make it to a showroom and try the LM machines. The old no burn wand on the GS/3 was truly terrible. The new pro-touch and cool-touch wands are in a class all by themselves. They are full-flow like the burn-me wands, but double layer, so the OD of the wand is quite large
