It does make a very strong cup I'll admit that, I typically drink it with a teaspoon of turbinado sugar for 2 ounces. In my experience though, the coffee roasting is the biggest effect. I find coffee companies often make their espresso as an afterthought, they make it "dark" (aka burnt to shit). Once I switched to a medium roast my coffee started tasting way better!
I also don't trust myself to try and make an espresso from a :LIB: machine. I've been to several coffee shops that over saturated the coffee so it was sour instead of bitter, and if they can't get it right I don't feel confident that I could. So I'll stick with my Moka maker.
