Re: Double spout - different quantities
RJ,
This is where a naked portafilter comes in handy. If youve used one, you would know that a pour generally starts with a number of stalactites (for want of a better word) that then should come together to form a single large stalactite smack bang in the centre of the filter basket.
A bad distribution or tamp will result in it forming on one side or taking longer to centre itself. which if you have a spout, will obviously result in one side delivering more of the goods.
Home-Barista has a good tutorial on distribution that illustrates what Im talking about.

Re: Double spout - different quantities
Measure it up, it sure is straight, and the machine is horizontal.
Done a number of testshots, and now I see that sometimes the pour starts left, sometimes right, and changes direction from time to time. Really now telling how it will behave.

Double spout - different quantities
Ive got a Gaggia Classic. When doing two cups, the left one always gets more (about 1/3 more) than the right.
The machine is level, and as far as I can see so is the hole through the spout. Tilting the machine fixes this, but I have to pad the left about .5 cm, which just doesnt look right.
Any ideas?
thx.
