I have a Europicola and the water comes out of the portafilter when I raise the lever all the way up instead of when I press down, do you know why that is?
If you don't have a portafilter with gorund coffee attached, this is normal and how the machine should work. If you have a portafilter with ground coffee attached, then maybe you mean that (weak) coffee comes out when you raise the lever - if that is the case, your coffee is ground to coarse, and you need to grind your coffee finer. This may mean obtaining a new grinder. There could be other situations too, but I need to know more about what you are doing.

I use a Baratza Sette 270. I would like to own a Niche Zero someday. Yet, I am reluctant to provide advice to others. There are many good grinders out there.
Well done John! It took me almost two years before I finally learned how to get similar results from my La Pavoni Europiccola. I'm a slow learner :)
Welp, I've been enjoying these machines for a long time too. This was my first crack and an older model though.

Nice! How does it make you feel to know you pull a wayyy better latte than james bond on the same machine?
Beautiful result ! What grinder do you use ?
