What is the optimum amount of coffee in grams required for the La Marzocco stepped double basket (This an original stepped basket not the no step copy)
Its has replaced the original spec basket for my Bezzera Domus / E61 porta filter
I weigh my coffee grounds and find that 14 grams is not enough to take into account the tamp, as the tamper bottoms out on the step collar leaving the coffee under tamped and causes quicker water flow
I have experimented a little with 14 grams as a starting point - at 0.1 grams over at a time but it may take a while to find the sweet spot. Any help will speed up the process
If anyone has one of these baskets you may be able to advise
I just need to know what would be the optimum amount of extra grounds needed to get all the variables just right
Currently drinking WOW blend from bean bay
Many Thanks
