Yes, but when you press double, double the amount of coffee is put into the holder. you cant get stronger coffee out of one single 7g amount of coffee, when it is exhausted it is exhausted.

Yes there should be two different sized filter baskets that go in group handle, one deep and one shallow. (I threw the shallow single shot one out.)

How are you going with getting the grind and tamp and the Crema right Mick?

On a machine with a commercial group if you guys want to test your dosing and tamping skills, AND see amazing pours (and have more crema) buy a naked portafilter...it's awesome. I often use a single basket in my naked PF when making a ristretto based small flat white.

Cheers

Yes, that's true.
Re. other questions, I push the button on the grinder and I tamp it down with the silver thingy. Crema is probably wrong, but its all OK. First world problem really.

In really bad coffeeshops or 'diners' and the like operators often try to cut costs by letting the extraction go on to the point where what comes out is dishwater...way past blonding which is bad enough. ..almost tranparent ...and then top the (usually huge) cup off with milk. Its disgusting in the purest sense.

I generally drink ristretto shot based flat whites to stop even a fraction of the above process occurring.

The buttons referred to above are volumetric buttons on a commercial machine and in the hands of someone with no idea they are a bad bad thing because the operator can think the large tall cup button is to be used for large take away cup coffees...in fact the large buttons are for different length of cooling shots of water depending on how long the machine has been idle (thus overheating the HX circuit - you will see dancing water coming out of the bare head when this happens or some hissing when she has been left sitting a long time).

There should be no blonding of a shot if the shot is to taste its best. I like my voumetric buttons for cooling and have programmed my 'little cup' buttons so they are generally reliable but most of the time i use the manual brew buttons.

CHEERS!

yep its the death of landrover for sure.

seems the majority of new owners can not travel far from a coffee machine.

explanes why the new LR products are all so mertro and no skill required!
