Dose Poll

Post by Endo »

What's your dose?

I know several people have claimed 15g to 16g is best. I must admit I have fallen off the low dose bandwagon recently and am currently dosing 17.5g of Klatch Belle Espresso with great success.

I'm curious what other people prefer and if they change depending on blend.

I'm trying to keep my doses right around 14g (+/- 0.2 g), since I'm just learning. I was thinking of dropping that to 13g to see what happens.

I'm just now going through my second bag of Atomic Cafe's Daterra Farm Reserve Espresso. I'm grinding it fine enough so that the S1 almost chokes (the three no-flow lights appear briefly) and then some pretty nice globs of espresso start dropping into the shot glass.

It also does well with a 16g dose & 3-4 seconds of p/i.

Lately I've been dosing around 15-15.5g & drinking mostly home roasted s/o espresso. Right now I'm enjoying a batch of Yemen Sana'ani which reminds me of the AC Daterra Reserve. Typically I'm in the 14g-16g range depending on the bean or blend. Lately I've been experimenting with no distribution of the dose & getting very good results so we'll see where that leads dose wise.
