How to make a proper espresso?

...with this Philips Espresso Duo

The problems are:
1) Not as bold as in restaurants or automatic coffee machines
2) (Almost) no foam

I used a plenty of roasts, grinds (both home and preliminary), dozes (from no-pressed to hard-pressed), but it still doesn't look and taste like automatic machine espresso. Where did I possibly go wrong?

An espresso is a high-pressure extraction of coffee from a special machine. These instructions will vary depending on the type of machine you have, but the basics are the same for all.

InstructionsThings You'll Need:
Demitasse Cups
Espresso Machines
Espresso Grinders
Espressos Beans
Spring Waters
Step 1Pour cold, clear water into your machine's water chamber and make sure the boiler cap is secured. One shot of espresso is about 1 ounce. For a double shot, use two ounces. Some machines let you make as many as four shots at once.

Step 2Place the coffee basket in the filter holder and lightly pack in the ground coffee. Your filter should have a measure for how much espresso you are making.

Step 3Brush off any grounds on the sides and top of the filter and place the filter holder in the machine.

Step 4Place the provided glass carafe (if your machine comes with one) under the spout and turn on the machine. The machine will heat the water to the proper temperature and force the water through the coffee grounds. Use a cup if your machine doesn't come with a carafe.

Step 5When the coffee starts to flow into the cup, it should have brown foam, or "crema," on its top. When the foam becomes almost white in color, the good-tasting liquid is no longer flowing. Remove the cup immediately.
