SELECTING A FILTER BASKET

Single Wall Filter Baskets

Use Single Wall filter baskets if grinding fresh
whole coffee beans.
Single Wall filter baskets allow you to
experiment with grind, dose and tamp to create
a more balanced espresso.

Dual Wall Filter Baskets

Use Dual Wall filter baskets if using
pre-ground coffee.
Dual Wall filter baskets regulate the pressure
and help to optimise the extraction regardless
of the grind, dose, tamp pressure or freshness.

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.

The provided filter baskets are designed for:
1 CUP basket = approx. 8–10g.
If using pre-ground coffee, this is approx.
2 level tablespoons.
2 CUP basket = approx. 15–18g.
If using pre-ground coffee, this is approx.
3 level tablespoons. If using freshly ground
coffee, this is approx. 4 level tablespoons.
The reason for this difference is that
pre-ground coffee is often coarser and hence
occupies more volume than coffee that is more
finely ground.

You may need to experiment with how much
coffee is dosed into the filter basket or how
long the grinder needs to run to achieve the
correct amount. For example, when using a
finer espresso grind with the Single Wall
filter baskets, you may need to increase the
grind amount to ensure the filter basket is
correctly dosed.
You will need to adjust the grind amount and
size if switching from a single basket to a
double basket, or vice versa.
