Picked up some Campbell & Syme from Federation in Brixton on the weekend... The Purple Haze blend really didn't work at all with my Silvia - I was stuffing 21.5g into the portafilter and setting my Iberital with the burrs almost touching just to stop it pouring a shot in about 3s..
Wasted almost the whole bag just trying to dial it in. What a joke - can't believe that Federation use that as their house blend.
The single origin I also picked up at the same time has yielded better results at (a more usual) 18-19g dose. Pretty full bodied (almost too much for espresso) - works well with milk.
