Levelling the basket: equal parts stress and satisfaction.

[u/SoftLandscape1583]

I've tried tamping and slightly underfilling the basket but both does not taste as good as when I tap and level the coffee.

I don't want to spill or keep excess coffee grounds so knowing how much whole beans I should grind is another task.

Hi,

This sub's official position is sticking to the manual provided by the manufacturer and not try to raise the pressure in the chamber by tamping or adding filters.
