Fill the large espresso sieve o with espresso powder up to the Max marking.
This equates to about 7 g + 7 g of powder or two level measuring spoons a.
3) Tamp down the espresso powder using the compactor on the measuring spoon a.
Add more espresso powder, if required, until the espresso sieve o p is full

NOTE
► Compaction of the coffee powder is an essential process for the prepar-
ation of an espresso. If the espresso powder is compacted very strongly,
the espresso runs through more slowly and more crema is generated. If the
espresso powder is not so strongly compacted, the espresso runs through
more quickly and it creates very little crema.
