carz07 Said: heheheh made a grim on my face, so 19grams then, running out of beans but then its worth it to test hmmmm so the 38wet here is less than 2oz right? will the ratio follow if i increase the volume? Posted December 5, 2012 link Yes, the ratio applies across the whole range of doses that fit the Breville basket.

carz07 Said: so new range is 3days and consume within 7days? Posted December 6, 2012 link It depends on the bean and the roast. I mostly rest it for 3 - 4 days and drink it well before 14 days, because I roast 12 oz. at a time and it runs out. But I've had some older coffee that was pretty darn good too. Anyhow, I'm done for the day, have fun.

BubbaDude Said: You've discovered the other reason for a heavier puck, they don't stick. At 18g you'll get a lot of stuck pucks. 19g pucks never stick. Posted December 5, 2012 link im in the middle of testing here, and true bubbadude hits it right - it dont stick to the group head! thanks bubbadude for the 19grams
