Many of todays blends are designed for updosing to provide a deep coffee bed. IMO, low dosing in shallow baskets gives less than optimal results.
I drink 5 or 6 single shots per day. With a 7g single basket, I can pack in almost 12g, although normal doses are in the 8.5 to 10g range. It's a slightly different taste than an updosed double, but infinitely preferable to low doses in a shallow 12g or standard 14g basket.
As far as the tamper, anything that fits
