How much coffee should be used in an espresso?
For a single shot of espresso use the single filter basket and about 7-8 grams of coffee. For a double shot, use the double filter basket, and about 14-16 grams. (Always ensure you use the appropriate size filter basket for the size drink you are making). Ensure you always use the same amount of coffee each time for a consistent shot every time you use your Gaggia.
