Above left photos shows the Regular PF (top) and BPF (bottom). Above right
photos shows the o-ring seal in between the PF body and the Spout.
BPFs allow the user to get a close-up view of the coffee exiting the basket on
its journey into the cup. Not only does this look great, but it also gives you
instant feedback on what is happening inside the filter basket. If you are
unfamiliar with a BPF I highly recommend you do some research on these
valuable tools. With regards our Robot I would say some benefits are:
• When you see the first drops of coffee appear on the underside you
would say the coffee puck is fully infused
• You can tell if you have an even extraction – i.e. is the coffee exiting
the basket evenly all over or just on one side/area?
• Any pinhole sprays would indicate poor preparation
• More crema
• Possibly hotter coffee in the cup
The main drawback of using a BPF is the fact that the coffee will be in one
pour, if you want to make 2 single shots then you will need to install the plate,
this will split the coffee into 2 streams.
Since we are such big fans of using a BPF we have included our patented all-
in-one system that means you can use the PF as either a regular PF or as a
BPF. The PF assembly consists of the PF with the Spouts combined. The
Spouts are press-fit held in place with the help of a silicone o-ring.
installation of the spouts into the PF body it may be necessary to use some
silicone lubricant (such as Dow 111) or some water.
The spout should be fairly tight in the PF body, if they are too loose, clean the
o-ring as there may be too much lubricant on them or replace the o-ring.
The basket is simply placed into the PF; there is no spring clip to
hold it in place.
