I am getting to know the new machine, but I have a few minor questions. On the WWW some people said you are better to upgrade the double basket to a Synesso ridgeless double basket and a new spring. It works well for two people. So I bought one.
I have read it should take 25-30 seconds for the coffee to come through the portafilter, and make the expresso. I believe this is the same when using a single or double basket? Is this using both spouts into one cup or is it making two cups at the same time?
If I am making a single cup of coffee can I use the Synesso double basket and half fill it with coffee beans? This is my current method. I tried to experiment and put in the single basket but it does not fit in properly any more with the new spring recommended for the Synesso basket?
If I make a cappacuno and use a 200 ml mug how much expresso coffee should I put in, 30, 60ml, 75 ml, 100 ml, 125ml, before I add the milk?

I am currently grinding on the 10 setting with romacafe beans. Earlier I had it on 6-7 but it took much more than 25 seconds to half fill the cup. I realize now I was probably putting in 100 ml of coffee. To find the zero position I wound the dial around and it does not want to go past 0, this was with the motor not running. It make odd noises when I test it at setting 1 with no beans and the motor running. Is this the zero setting?
Thanks
