That said, that's my way, and it varies depending on the type of bean and machine you're using.
hmm i guess too fine is subjective. I'm using a BBE inner burr @ 3, outer burr @ 3 and with 18g dose in the stock double non-pressurized basket, the showerhead can sometimes leave an imprint depending on the tamp.
