Ending the shot. The coffee maker has the capacity to make a full double
shot of well in excess of 50-60g of Beverage. However you may chose to end
the shot at any time by just simply stopping pressing the levers down and
removing your cup. The coffee will stop extracting at this point – a tip to
prevent any drips is to lift the levers a fraction and it will suck back the water
and stop the flow.
Cleaning. At this point you should place a spare cup or container under the
spouts – this will collect the water/coffee left in the PF. If you were to simply
remove the PF at this point you will be left with a sludgy mess, what we want
to see is a nice hard coffee cake that is easy to dispose of.
With your extra cup or container under the spouts, life the levers and push
them down again, this will express the remaining water from the basket in the
form of some weak coffee (which is why we do not "pump" the arms). You
nd
may have to repeat this a 2 time, as you will notice how spongy and soft the
pressures now are (which is why we do not like a big air void above the
water). You will know when all water has been forced through the coffee
when you can hear, and possibly see, a whoosh of air pass through the
coffee.
Now you can remove the PF. Lift the levers to the top again, and then remove
the PF. It will still be hot at this point so either cautiously remove the filter
screen or let it cool for a few moments. With the screen removed you may
now "knock out' the puck.
