This is probably an obvious question but have not found much on it.
Assuming we are talking about E61 portafilters which are all around 58mm, they come in different sizes ranging from about 22 gms down to 7 gms.
I realize the larger ones are usually used in double shot portafilters, coffees come in different size mugs and cups and some people like a stronger cup than others.
My wife and I normally drink milk coffees and I make the two cups from a 22gm Pesado but if I also have a single visitor I use what I think is a 14gm basket for the third coffee unless they request a double ristretto etc. I also realize a lot of this comes down to personal preference.
However I would appreciate if the more knowledgeable members could advise what size baskets they would use in various situations (eg catering for various visitors wanting different sorts of coffees)?
