Weight for a double basket?
I know this topic has probably been discussed many times so sorry in advance for the redundancy. I just got a scale and was wondering how much coffee in grams for a double basket?
Thanks

Depends on the basket. A "14g VST" basket takes 13-15g, I use a VST 18g basket that I load with 18-20g for instance
You do not specify exactly how many grams of espresso you poured out. You just state "it" poured out.
Also, the beans you use, the roast of them, the roast date etcetera can make a difference. And your tamping technique, and the grinder. Best provide all info exactly, complete and specific, and post a video. Good quality info provides a better chance for getting any sensible feedback.
Is it the OEM basket that came with the machine? That one takes 15.8g give or take a little.
You use the naked portafilter I presume so you can see how the drops appear. Do they appear all over the bottom of the basket within a second of the first droplet appearing or is that not so? Several streams falling down or gradually joining into one stream?
I suggest to weigh it and also time how long it takes. At best post a video.
I'm sure others know at least as much as I do (or more) so others can and hopefully will chime in. I'm not trying to pose as any 'expert' rushing to the microphone to boss people around ;-)
I not sure if its the basket that came with the machine, I have about 5 of them. I'll post some pix.
After the initial few drops I usually get 2 streams then joins as one after about 10 secs.
I will get a vid up too.
Thanks
yes, if you can post an image of your basket, that would be helpful, as frans has already suggested. circa 15.8g if it is our stock basket
save your image at medium jpeg quality
reiss.
Sounds very good.
