Just to be sure though, I'll do the experiment and bring some beans home and see what kind of magic i can work. i seriously doubt anyone bothered tune the super.

Ok. Took home some Peets Espresso Forte...what the superauto uses. Pulled a shot, adjusted the grind and pulled a mediocre second shot which was already better than the super...3rd shot was way better. Still only so-so, as Espresso forte is not really anything to write home about, but you get my point.
