The coffee is grinding (seemingly properly), however, the coffee then is "poured" into the drawer -- right along with all the grindings.....
I have cleaned with tablet, cleaned the internal screen & changed the filter. Any other ideas???

First, I'm NOT a Saeco technician, But I have worked on similar machines. (I still have one in my garage along with other 'graveyard' coffee machines.) Check your warranty and call for service as there are no customer serviceable parts in this equipment.
*** the following is for information only ***
* I've taken these machines apart many times and found there are a lot of sensors in this unit. Many are very delicate and fault out easily. If you do locate the right sensor, you will still need to locate a replacement. Ordering parts can be a challenge as it must be the correct model (and serial number series). I found out the hard way that not all PC boards are the same as the change functions even in the same model.
* Okay looking around I came across a vid (link below) that shows in detail how to check all the functions of the model he has. You probably don't need to go through the descaling and other checks. The Bean grinder portion is very detailed and not for the faint of heart. But his instructions are clear and should be able to solve your problem. His "No Bean" error was caused by prolonged use without proper cleaning and someone spilt water into the bean cup long ago. I hope to try out his method soon as I never took apart the grinder section completely like he did. I only vacuumed the beans out.
Good luck (to all of us!)

Try to set the machine to grind finer. Common problem with this machine when the grinder grinds too coarse, and the coffee will not fit in the brew unit during the cycle. Grinding finer will allow the brew unit to compress and the machine should complete the cycle.
Hi
Its not the water. More than likley its the lever on the right side of the machine at the top middle of the door. Its pushed all the way to the back or positive. Move it 1 mark towards the front of the machine and try again. If you put too much coffee in the brew unit, it can't compress it and kicks it out. It could also be your grind is too coarse. It should look like auto drip coffee.
This fixes almost all the "beans will not feed or beans will not grind" problems caused by coffee bean dust packed in the burrs. Oily beans cause this problem more fequently.
a. Pour all the beans out the top.
b. Open the settings up all the way and see what else can be poured
out. Use your shop vacuum to **** grounds out the spout and backward
out the bean bin.
c. Pour in some instant rice and start grinding. Reduce the grind to
a small setting like six and then open the settings all the way again.
(The grinder will not start at a low setting with the rice in it. If
you let it stop, open the settings to about 16 before trying to
restart.)
d. Pour out the rice and vacuum out the ground rice.
e. Adjust the grinder to your favorite setting and try a coffee grind. Grind until most of the rice dust is expelled (any remaining trace of rice dust will not affect the flavor of the coffee).

How old is the coffee being used? Normally if you change baskets, the grind should be the same, because the single basket has finer and less holes in it than the double basket. The only difference would be the tamp then, since the coffee grinds works great with the double basket. You would also have to use a different volume of water to produce the coffee. To produce 2 ounces of espresso you need about 3 ozs of water,(about an ounces of water will remain in the coffee).
On mine the door that holds the ground coffee in place at times doesn't latch properly either and then the it will pop loose. I have to close it fairly hard in order to get it to latch and I test the latch by pushing on the door to see if comes open. When properly latched it will only open via the little button on the side, not by jiggling the door.
