I just received the BES840XL as a gift. I love the machine except for two problems. The pressure gauge on the front of the machine barely moves. The only time it does move is when I use the Double Walled filter and then it barely gets out of the Infuse range. Also I get the same yield when I push either the one or two shot buttons. I called Brevilles customer service and they were of little help. Any help out there? Thanks

What's that black plastic thing inside the portafilter ?

"Thank you for your question! If you're referring to the flexible black rubber disc that comes bundled with the machine, that would be a Backflush Disc--a tool used for cleaning the group head. If you are instead referring to what appears to be a black plastic piece located (roughly) around the drain hole at the center of the portafilter, that part simply streamlines the flow of brewed coffee out through the spouts."
