Can I ask what the correct method is for dosing the right amount of coffee? Im using a Mazzer Mini, Silvia and Synesso double ridgeless basket (Ill put that in my sig).
I dont have scales and so Im dosing by volume. Im reading that some people dont like levelling off with a straight edge as it might be updosing? I am dosing into the Synesso basket and then using the NSEW method of levelling and then swiping across the top of the basket (all of this with a small baby knife I stole from my daughter). In the absence of scales I dont know any other method of how much I should dose.
Im asking as I was searching the forum for problems with dissipating crema. Im using Espresso Wow - roasted on the 6th of June (posting this on the 17th) and Im finding the crema is dissipating by 20 mls within about 10 seconds. One possible reason I read for this might be the user is updosing too much?
Any advice, as always, is much appreciated.
