Having read about how a single basket should take 7 grams of grounds and a double basket should take around 14 grams I sort of assumed mine would be roughly similar.
Using mostly single basket shots for myself Ive got used to the caffeine strength from this and on the odd occasion where Id use the double basket and make 2 drinks Id find mine decidedly weak.
So upon finally weighing just what went into the basket found:
the standard Expobar single takes 12 grams !!
the standard Expobar double takes 18 grams !!
no wonder I felt ripped off in the caffeine department only having a 1/2 of a double shot.

Is this normal? did I get abnormal baskets with my Minore ??
I had looked at the baskets of a ECM Giotto in a nameless store and found them to look almost identical to my own Expobar ones.
