Magnifica grinding way too much coffee per shot, common cause?

What strength setting are you guys using for their espresso recipe? I'm currently on the middle bar but I'm concerned that my shot will be watery.

two bars (second lowest). Plenty strong with a decent bean.

The double dose is not twice the strength of singles because the machine does not fully reset the dosing timer between singles. At least that’s what a Delonghi tech told me when I had my machine in for service.

wait so does that mean if I make two singles back to back will it under dose compared to making two singles separately?

sort of yeah. If you wait about 30 seconds between singles it will fully reset

wait so its the bean hopper? yes its real. Mine had a gap in the rubber but beans fell in too fast. Once I fixed it with a tiny bit of food safe silicone the dose dropped by like 3 grams

lmao at this whole thread discussing dosing in grams when the Magnifica cannot properly tamp 15 grams of ground coffee. You're optimizing for a fundamentally limited machine.

sure but its the machine people have. Not everyone wants to drop 2k on a lever.
