Do you mean the filter hole sizes are different depending on the basket size?

Yes - but do what Andy says and read that article, which is one of the most informative about coffee that you're ever likely to read.

Thanks Andy, thanks Tony! It was a good read. And on a somewhat unrelated topic - if anyone could direct me towards some similarly scientifically rigorous reading about the effect of temperature changes on extraction, it would be much appreciated (epengr - sorry for hijacking your thread!).

As far as our collective understanding of that topic goes, I would say we have many rivers to cross, but don't get discouraged Jimmi, because you can get it if you really want.

Heheh thanks Andy. Looks like it might be time to get myself a refractometer and get my hands dirty.
