Bianca V3. I'm grinding with HG1 into Lelit supplied 18-21 g basket. Then WDT with grounds still in HG1 funnel and tap into pf. Takes extra care to manage tapping the pf to sink 19g to point that I can get the tamper into position but still pretty sloppy at that amount.
Current 18.5g shots are quite good but I'd like some flexibility. Alternate basket? Or what?

Heat + Beans = Roast. All the rest is commentary.

Less dense and/or darker roasts are going to take up more volume. Are you using a double basket? I know they make triples, this could give you more room.

Different coffee beans and different roast level will yield varying densities, so same 19g will produce a different volume.
Then there is grind size you also have to factor in.
If you want to pull a shot with 19g, then 20g or 22g VST basket may give you a good result as you can normally go finer grind size with it.
