    oh ok well i put the group handle on the scales empty, and added coffee till it looked about the usual amount checked weight, did the 5c test and modified the amount till it was right and then checked the weight and it was 17gr.

    Ah how did you identify that 17 is just about right Roscoe? I'm intrigued!

    Thanks Leroy I just put 17 in and that was about right so now that I have an idea of what is optimal and how it looks in the basket I can stop over dosing. I think historically i have put in well over 20g. Cheers

Is it 14gm or 21gr or something like that. I assume you just zero the portafilter and basket on the scales and add coffee till your happy with the weight? Any tips for a general not too pedantic coffee drinker? thanks
    It’s not a particularly large basket so somewhere in the 15-18g range will work depending on the roast level of the coffee you’re using and your grinder. 14g might be a little low and >20g is definitely too much.
