Things suddenly got smooth - no more sharpness and the chocolate bomb was thermonuclear. We came to a reduction in the dose of 2.7g

Upon reflection, I realized I had been chasing an idea that bigger dose = better flavor. Now I get the grind timing in the ball park and the adjust dose to taste.
So what was your final dose? <12g?
