    If your wondering what the 5 cent test is check here http://coffeesnobs.com.au/general-co...-unknowns.html

    As I said in my original post and Bames has also commented, overdosing.
    Yelta didn't ignore your comment mate. Took it on board and even ordered one of the 18gram baskets you recommend. Hopefully it fixes the problem. Thanks for the advice mate [emoji106]

      I would place a big bet that is the cause of the end shot gushing.



      I would recommend 16g as a theoretical maximum for a 14g basket without it touching the screen. Try the 5c test as a very basic guide to max dose volume (search the forums for instructions), and don't dose more in the basket than the 5c test allows. Adjust grind to get 25-30 second pour and then go by taste.

      Thanks for the comprehensive reply Bames! I will give a 16g dose a go tonight until my 18gram basket I ordered comes.

            Sounds a bit like you haven't dialed in your grinder!
