Ha! I used to go on the roof to do it. I can only assume it's how coarse your grind was, I try to aim somewhere between french press and espresso grind and it would give thickish syrrupy shots with one and a half scoops for a full cannister of water.
Though these days I'm preferring cleaner cups so just one scoop and a touch more water. Same grind though. And slightly faster plunge speed.
