dfk41 If you ground & dosed the same as the previous clogged brew, but this time the full amount of liquid landed in the cup, it is most likely that you extracted more not less.
The clogged brew ended up with an estimated ratio of 1:9.3 (185g/20), the non clogged brew would be 1:12.3 (245g/20), so much weaker.
I’m not sure why you keep reducing the coffee dose, it seems to me you are frequently looking for a more flavourful cup and brewing stronger (more coffee/less water) is more likely to achieve this.
We don’t have enough data, brew to brew, to draw any conclusions as you have made frequent changes to all parameters since the last full set of info.
Weigh the cup you brew into & make a note of its weight. When the brew has finished, weigh the full cup and subtract the weight of the cup to get the beverage weight, then your scales won’t time out.
