I’m confused. I thought I had found the ideal grind (with a kitchenaid grinder, yes, I’ve ordered a eureka already) but this shot looked ok, but only gave me 26g..any advice would be appreciated. It’s a bambino on the standard double program. The resulting americano is pleasant enough, but im wondering why I’ve not got more like 36g of espresso. 18g in on a medium/dark blend (coffee works chocolate brownie blend) just over 1 week since roasting..thanks for any help you can give!

I have bought this teapot for £2 in a charity shop. I looked the design up and can see the red clay type are quite sought after, but this is a deep dark brown and matt finish. Any help would be appreciated in knowing what I’ve found!
