I recently bought a Synesso double basket to use with my Rancilio having read the reviews and wanting to try a cheap(ish) upgrade. It seems to hold more coffee than the Rancilio original. If Im assuming that to make a double then I want 2 ounces of coffee in say, 27 seconds, doesnt it follow that I would have to grind slightly coarser for the Synesso than for the Rancilio?
Obviously if the water has to get through more coffee grounds to make the same volume espresso shot in the same amount of time then I would have to grind coarser?
I know a simple experiment of my own would solve this but Im interested to know if this is the right course of action, or am I meant to tamp more lightly or am I meant to allow more time for the shot to produce 2 ounces?
I hope this makes sense.
