Re: Did I do well?
What works for me is to measure each grind by volume and grind only that amount of beans. It comes out in a regular conical shape in the basket. Tap on bench to settle and tamp.
If you must overfill, or are making a quanitity of coffees at once, then instead of a straight edge use a curved bit of card (or thumb) to take out excess coffee.
Generally you want just enough coffee that a 5 cent piece on top of the puck only gently indents when the group handle is locked in. This gives some room for expansion.
