Machine Clogged
The machine might be clogged with detritus or mineral deposits. Clean the machine (guide will be linked here).

The issue doesn’t seem to be that the coffee is packed too tightly and no water/coffee is coming out, but that way too much watered down coffee/water comes out…nearly all at once. Am I not using a fine enough grind of coffee?

The issue isn’t that the coffee is packed too tightly and no water can get through, but that too much water/coffee comes through almost instantly, so that the result is very weak coffee. Am I using too coarse of a grind of coffee?

the machine should have water to make steam but the water from the group head was dripping and the steam cannot steam

Please update your instructions to include under NOT ENOUGH COFFEE IS BEING MADE the following:
After replacing the gasket, if there is still a problem, you will likely need to keep the old grounds in the attachment that holds grounds and run vinegar through the system. Just as if you are going to make coffee, run a carafe of distilled vinegar through — this removes mineral buildup.
I have used this machine for decades and routine maintenance means running vinegar through it once every two or three years.
Anyway — love your project and love this espresso maker! Keep up the great work!
