What size are people going for? I've got a 14g/double at the moment. Is going to a 21g/ triple just a case of getting more coffee in and out, or will I see anything different flavour wise?
I've got the two single and double baskets that came with the machine. I pretty much only use the bigger basket on mine. 20-22g in and 40-45g out in 30 seconds depending what I fancy. The smaller basket is fussy with its tamping because of the tapered sides and only a little amount too much coffee means it won't go on properly. I get much more consistent espresso with the bigger basket and it seems to be more forgiving about the grind and quantity.

Also, what basket? Is it worth the money for the IMS competition. eBay has baskets from about £4 up, but I can only see the IMS as being noticeably branded/different.
