Did I get stale coffee?
You keep asking for all my brew parameters, apparently I'm not making myself clear. All the parameters I give you are useless unless if the resultant cup is satisfactory.

Did I get stale coffee?
Mostly used 18 gram at 198-200F with both blends. Tried updosing 20 and 22 gram baskets. Still negligible crema. Tamp was my usual light 10#. I received the coffee 3 days post roast. According to the date wrote on the bag. I don't even think variables in dose/temp or tamp could produce the shots

Given same dose of coffee, does basket size affects taste?
Would 18 grams of espresso pulled in a 18 gram basket taste diffeerent than 18 grams in either a 20 or 15 gram basket? If they would why is that. In my mind, as long as the baskets are equal diameter, the coffee puck would be identical. The only difference I see would be the distance from

Worth upgrading from PID Rancilio Silvia and Mazzer Mini?
My tendency is towards chocolate and body. However I haven't tried 2 setups, each setup to their own strong suits

That's what I was afraid of hearing. Consistency isn't what I feel I need. Hmmm
