Strongly considering a vst basket for my Musica, currently using 15.5g in the standard simonelli ridged basket. Also using a convex espro tamper at 58mm.
When tamping, in order to pass the 5c test, I end up tamped to just below the ridge, (I actually half tamp, then clear the grinds from the ridge, then full tamp).
I can't decide if I want the 15g, or the 18g basket. I think I'm happy with my 15ish g dosing, but want to make sure it will fit in my selected basket. It seems my Musica has a quite low shower screen.
So, my question is.
With a vst basket, at the nominated basket size, where does the puck tamp down above/below/on the ridge?
