I ask the question as I been wondering if I've been wasting coffee. let me explain:
My setup is gaggia classic, Caedo E7 grinder, currently Mossoon Malabar from rave:
In the past I have been dosing around 17 grams (seems to fill up the double basket nicely). In order to get 34grams of coffee in around 27 seconds i've had my grinder set to about 4 anything finer and it it take ages or no coffee comes through. therefore it got me thinking that i'mnotusing my grinder to its full capability as it can grind much finer.
Recently i have been tried turned the grind setting finer to 3 and dosing 14 grams (the stated size of the double basket) and I'm achieving similar amount of coffee in a similar time. I cant really notice a difference in taste or crema, so whats the point in dosing more but grinding at a coarser setting? Is it a waste of coffee?
