It sounds like you got the two baskets mixed up. The picture looks
like a generic E61 single, and the Wega basket will almost certainly
have this form. The LM basket is taller and holds more coffee. You're
overfilling both baskets slightly, at least by my lights, I get 11
grams in the E61 single, and 12 in the LM. The LM will go to 15 grams
if you want to do a number on the shower screen.
