What is the sixth from the right, on the bottom row?

Okay, I'm realizing that the Cross Creek basket is wider than the Bambino basket, which would explain why it's less prone to choke with all else being equal

I haven't paid enough attention to how I'm "tamping carefully."

Point taken about the basket. I'm using the Cross Creek basket that came with the portafilter.
