Hi Guys,
I have read through multiple threads on this topic and so I know it's been discussed ad nauseum, but I still don't understand a few things about the apparent superiority of using a double basket.
I am drinking 4-5 double shots/day (I have a 20g Pesado basket) and am thinking it might be a bit much. If I were to use single shots instead, I could effectively have an extra few coffees for the same amount of caffeine intake (or reduce my intake for the same number of drinks).
There seems to be a consensus that single baskets are difficult to dose consistently and effectively not to bother with them. Why are they hard to master and why is a double basket just so much better? Using a single basket rather than a double (i.e. and keeping only half the shot) means I am also using less coffee. So there's a benefit from a waste point of view.
Who uses a single basket out there and what's your experience? What sort would you recommend?
Thanks,
Paul
