So ever since picking up my rancilio rocky doserless, I have since struggled getting my shot consistency. I recently pulled it apart, gave it a great clean and realigned it as zero as I could. I'm unsure if it's the dose amount, the grind size or the tamp but my shots are pouring super fast. Currently waiting on my new tamper and my scales, but the Puck seems to come out super wet. Using a sunbeam EM6910. Never really had an issue till now. I know grinding finer may fix it but I know tamping can also cause the issue, I am tamping evenly so I know its not a channelling issue. I will make a few shots tomorrow and take some photos and post if it's still happening. But I know it helps to have a consistent dose amount.

So! Gotten some aldi beans to adjust my settings on my grinder. I have scales and a nicer tamper now, but so unsure about when people say they're putting in 21g dosed into their portafilter basket, as my double shot single wall basket takes 60g to fill the basket level! What's the go with this? Is this correct? It's the sunbeam 6910 with the standard double basket. The shot seems to be pouring nicely but my rocky is also about 4 clicks from zero getting a decent shot! I have zeroed the machine and the burrs arnt that old at all!

I have a SB EM6910 as well, and can't imagine how you're getting 60 g into the double basket.Originally posted by FilthySudo View Post... my double shot single wall basket takes 60g to fill the basket level!

I am currently dosing with 18 g and get 54 g out (1:3) in 25-35 sec.

The SB double has a nominal size of 16g. The 6910 can handle severe overdosing, however I doubt that the standard basket can fit anywhere near 60g. Perhaps you have a "ring in" rather than the original - wouldn't be the first I have seen. Look up the SB website and do a comparison.Originally posted by FilthySudo View PostSo!

Grinder settings are almost irrelevant unless they are calibrated. Unless you run out of adjustment for your desired grind I suggest you ignore them other than as a guide for the next shot. If you do run out of adjustment then shim / recalibrate the grinder.

Filthy, did you zero the scales after putting the empty portafilter on, or is the weight of portafilter + coffee = 63 grams. There is no way there is 63 grams of coffee in the pf unless you lace your coffee with leadOriginally posted by FilthySudo View Post[ATTACH=CONFIG]19496[/ATTACH]
Here is a pic of my scales weighing the coffee in over 60grams, so unless these scales are completely wrong then...
Edit: I will compare with other scales to see if these are way inaccurate, because by the sounds of things they are way out...

No mate! My scales are way out of whack! They were originally saying my basket was weighing 87g,now when changing batteries it's about 24g. So yeah!
