Sorry but it's all questions this week.
I purchased some coffee from Hasbeen (roasted 03-FEB-2010, delivered 05-FEB-2010) and have tried a couple of doubles which have tasted quite nice, however the crema broke down very quickly.
I'm sure I read somewhere that the beans could be "too fresh" and may need to de-gas before I'll get thick crema that will stay on top of the coffee?!?
Is this correct or have I got the wrong end of the stick and this is simply down to the type of beans purchased and/or my technique?

For info. the first shot choked my machine, but after dialing back the MC2 the next two shots poured fine.
