NOTE
Regardless of whether you use Single Wall or
Dual Wall filter baskets, use the 1 CUP basket
when brewing a single cup and the 2 CUP
basket when brewing two cups or a stronger
single cup or mug.
Use the 1 cup filter basket when brewing a single
cup and the 2 cup filter baskets when brewing 2
cups or a stronger single cup or mug.
You will need to adjust the grind amount and
size if switching from a single basket to a
double basket, or vice versa.
The provided filter baskets are designed for:
1 Cup filter basket = 8-11g
2 Cup filter basket = 16-19g
THE GRIND
When grinding coffee beans, the grind size
should be fine but not too fine. The grind size
will affect the rate at which the water flows
through the ground coffee in the filter basket
and the taste of the espresso.
If the grind is too fine (looks like powder and
feels like flour when rubbed between the
fingers), the water will not flow through the
coffee even when under pressure. The resulting
espresso will be OVER EXTRACTED, dark in
color and bitter in flavor.
If the grind is too coarse, the water will flow
through the ground coffee in the filter basket too
quickly. The resulting espresso will be UNDER
EXTRACTED and lacking in color and flavor.
COFFEE DOSE AND TAMPING
• Insert the filter basket into the portafilter.
• Grind enough coffee to fill the filter basket.
• Tap the portafilter several times to collapse
and distribute the coffee evenly in the
filter basket.
• Using the tamper, tamp down firmly (approx.
30-40 lbs. (15-20kgs) of pressure). The
amount of pressure is not as important as the
consistent pressure every time.
As a guide, the top edge of the cap on the
tamper should be level with the top of the filter
basket AFTER the coffee has been tamped.
NOTE
We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans
with a 'Roasted On' date stamped on the bag,
not a 'Best Before' or 'Use By' date. Coffee
beans are best consumed between 5–20 days
after the 'Roasted On' date. Stale coffee may
pour too quickly from the portafilter spouts
and taste bitter and watery.
PURGING THE GROUP HEAD
Before placing the portafilter into the group
head, run a short flow of water through the
group head by pressing the 1 Cup or 2 Cup
button. This will stabilize the temperature prior
to extraction.
INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER
Place the portafilter underneath the group head
so that the handle is aligned with the INSERT
position. Insert the portafilter into the group
head and rotate the handle towards the center
until resistance is felt.
INSERT
Place your cup/s under the portafilter on
the drip tray.
