How much headroom in the basket once you've tamped?

What's a giant Trosser? Does it qualify for a space on the HandJive grinder thread? If so please post a photo!

And you asked about dosing. My basket is 25 mm high and I dose at 12.5 mm. I don't have a weight on that, but my feeling is that is "under dosed". I started that way based on the TDS study Jim did. I actually need to jump over to the overdosing thread and see what has been said as I have become a heavy proponent of not overdosing.

I will see about getting a weight on that dose in the next day or so.
