    Anyone know the 'correct' weight of coffee for a Gaggia double-shot basket?

    16-18 grams nomally. I dose 18.

    Tried a couple of Badger and Dodo's offerings and wasn't impressed, over roasted and not the freshest.

    Hasbean's Blake was a hit and one to recommend, fantastic with milk too. I'll try another couple of suppliers over the coming weeks.

    Am currently drinking Badger & Dodo's Blackwater blend & must say am finding it really good.

    @Mr Magnolia, did you pick it up in a shop or something? They roast to order every Tuesday and it's with you by Thursday when you do mail order.

    The Blackwater blend is too dark for me but they light/medium roast some of the single origin beans which is what I go for.

    18g to what amount of coffee? 1.5oz or thereabouts?

    18g to 28g out.
    Better off weighing the output rather than judging by volume.
