Then take it out and if you see the imprint of a 5c piece you have over dosed your basket. Basically there should be enough room between the puck and the screen for the puck to swell when it gets wet. If it swells and there isn't enough room you will get a dirty screen and the puck can stick. Also make sure you take out the spent puck after pouring the shot and don't leave it to dry out etc.
    I think you are correct, I was getting the puck stuck after every coffee since I bought and been using a coffee distributor and tamper tool, I just made the tamper end deeper which in turn pushes the coffee grind deeper into the basket and for the last 4 cups the puck has not been stuck. thanks
