Hey Chris, I'm curious about this one- have you observed any general rules for this weight/volume relationship?malachi wrote: 2 - different coffees have different weights per volume (or vice versa)
I guess it would be more of an issue for people who empty the grinder for every shot then those who dose by volume with a full hopper.

incorrect. all shots produced using a double basket are double shots.davidr88 wrote:14g is classed as a double shot, the 17-18g shot we are talking of is called updosing.
with some coffees, some baskets and some machines - 14g is a "mid point" dose.
with others, 17g is a "mid point" dose.
beware dogma

Haven't explored this yet - just rough theories.
