Dispensing Coffee - Astoria 1GR Use And Maintenance Manual

6.8 Dispensing coffee

Do not remove the filter holder from the dis-
pensing group when coffee is being dispensed.
The coffee dispensing method is different for each machine
type; therefore, the instructions specific to the model being
used must be followed.
In any case, before dispensing, the filter holder must be filled
as described in the next paragraph.
Preparing the filter holder
6.8.1
Before filling the filter holder, make sure it is
empty and any previous coffee residue has been
removed.
• Fill the filter with a dose of ground coffee (approx. 6-7 g);
follow the procedures specified by the manufacturer of
the grinder-dispenser.
• Tamp the coffee with the special tamper.
• Clean the rim of the ground coffee filter before attaching
the filter holder to the dispensing group.
• Hook the filter holder to the group without closing it too
tightly in order to prevent the gasket from wearing quickly.

6.8.2
Never perform the below-described operations
without coffee in the filter or without the filter
holder attached to the dispensing group. The
rapid upward movement of the lever may cause damage
to the appliance, individuals or property.
The dispensing time depends on the grind fineness and
the amount of coffee in the filter holder.
• Place a cup/demitasse under the group's dispensing spout.
• Pull the lever all the way down.

ing which time the coffee will be dispensed. Wait for the
