Spraying/spluttering with pressurised basket

Hi,

I've been using an unpressurised after market basket and handle with my Delonghi Dedica for a while. It makes just OK espresso. I dont think my grinder is up to scratch tbh.

I thought I'd try a pressurised basket, but for some reason the espresso sprays out of the spouts laterally, making a huge mess, as pictured. Obviously this didnt happen before.

Any idea why? I tried a finer grind, distributing the coffee better, and tamping harder and more evenly. No cigar.

(Why a pressurised basket? The best espresso I've ever had out of this particular machine was with the stock handle and stock pressurised basket. Why not use those then? Because the stock basket doesnt grip the handle well. It falls out into the knock box when you bang it. I hate this with a passion)

Ben Chatwin - Altered Signals

This is a remix album.

It's also how I found Sevendeaths.

One of the remixes is from Visionist, which I think i saw live support Ben Frost.

Another remix from Ital Tek, which is another artist I like. I posted the Bodied album on here at some point.

Genghis Tron - Dream Weapon

Recently acquired this copy of dream weapon. One of my favourite albums of all time.

I discovered genghis tron on a cover cd of a metal magazine in the uk, circa 2007(?). Their track "white walls" blew me away. Synthy grind metal. I'd never heard anything like it. I bought the album "Dead mountain mouth". Loved it. Saw them live in Bournemouth circa 2010. Then came the album "Board up the house". Brutal.

Then band evolved. Into this. "Dream Weapon". Different. Less heavy. But oh so good.

This colour, i believe, is a pressing of 100.
