The double-wall filter baskets are designed for slowing down the water flow rate
during brewing, thus extracting your espresso at the correct pressure and leading to
a rich, golden crema. The filter baskets are suited for freshly ground coffee powder
as well as for pre-ground vacuum packed espresso coffee powder. However, it is
better anyway to grind whole coffee beans directly before extraction via the integra-
ted grinder of the machine.
The plain filter baskets provide the whole range of variations derived from any com-
binations of amount, tamping pressure, and grind size. Use this type of filter basket,
when you are experienced. This type of filter basket is not suited for pre-ground cof-

ments by turning the grind size dial to the desired position.
The correct amount is measured out via the appliance and met reliably with each
grinding action. The coffee powder is filled directly into the filter basket.
You can adapt the pre-programmed amount of coffee powder that is given off the
grinder for 1 espresso or 2 espressi separately. Your settings are kept in memory
permanently, even when cutting out the power supply.
