CoFFEE pREpARAtIoN
Dosing & tamping the ground Coffee
If using whole bean coffee ground directly
before extracting, use the Single Wall Filter
Baskets. If using Pre-ground coffee, use
the Dual Wall Filter Baskets. Insert the
correct Filter Basket into the portafilter.
Fill the Filter Basket with ground coffee,
tap down to collapse the coffee, then using
the integrated tamper, tamp down firmly
(approx.. 15-20kg of pressure).
It's important to apply consistent pressure
every time.
• As a guide to dose, the top edge of the
metal cap on the tamper should be level
with the top of the filter basket AFTER
the coffee has been tamped. This will
minimise under or over dosing the
coffee.
• Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the
filter basket to ensure a proper seal in
the group head is achieved.
