So, with great trepidation, I made the first cup with the new basket. This was my second cup of the day; I'd actually been making my first cup with the dual wall basket as supplied with the Bambino Plus, when the delivery arrived.
So good for back-to-back comparisons!
I decided to initially just use the exact same settings on both grinder and and Bambino Plus as I have been using with the dual wall basket.
So, 8g of coffee into the basket (ground at a setting of ~2.7 for 5.5s on the Specialita), tamp down with my handy-dandy Matow calibrated tamper, tare my cup on the scales, and push the "1 cup" button on the Breville to see what happens.
(drum roll, please...)
27s later, I get a perfect 16g extraction!
How did it taste?
OK. About as good as a good shot from the dual wall basket. Maybe a smidge sweeter?
A bit of an anti-climax, really! LOL
