Hello Guys 1st Issue I have a GCP with a Eureka Mignon Crono which has a 50mm burrs. The coffee tastes good, but I never reached 25-30 seconds of extraction, the closest is 18 seconds.
I add 9g of beans into my grinder and I get 25-30g in my cup, I always use the single basket.
Can you direct me with troubleshooting steps ?

2nd Issue My final goal is to make cortado, I tried couple times after reading guides and watching videos to steam milk, but I can’t steam like they do.
I use 3% milk, Any tips?

    Question regarding the double, how much coffee do I need in the double basket to make a single? Do I use same G as on my single basket ?

      Unfortunately you have to also use a double dose (or in that range), with double output and coarser - compared to the single basket - grind. The higher quantity of coffee is what helps make everything easier, as small variations have a more limited impact and the diameter of the baskets itself (58mm) works better for doubles. Single baskets have usually holes only in the middle part and have a much less uniform extraction for this reason.
