Thanks for your reply. I don't own a grinder, just using the one that my neighbour has at the moment.
What is the correct term for the drink made with this machine then? Does it make actual espresso, and can real espresso be made with a pressurised portafilter? Or does this aspect just affect the validity of the "crema"?
Technically by definition it is espresso. The crema you are getting i think is still crema as the hot water is emulsifying the oils in the bean. But the extraction is not at all the same. Not even close.
