COFFEE DOSE AND TAMPING

• Insert the filter basket into the portafilter.
• Grind enough coffee to fill the filter basket.
• Tap the portafilter several times to collapse
and distribute the coffee evenly in the
filter basket.
• Using the tamper, tamp down firmly (approx.
15-20kgs of pressure). The amount of
pressure is not as important as the consistent
pressure every time.
• As a guide, the top edge of the cap on the
tamper should be level with the top of the filter
basket AFTER the coffee has been tamped.
NOTE
Use Razor™ dose trimming tool to
precisely control the dose of ground coffee
AFTER you tamp.

TRIMMING THE DOSE

The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool
allows you to trim the puck to the right level
for a consistent extraction.

until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim
of the basket.
• Rotate the Razor™ dosing tool back and forth
while holding the portafilter on an angle over
the knock box to trim off excess coffee grinds.
Your coffee filter is now dosed with the correct
amount of coffee.

PURGING THE GROUP HEAD

head, run a short flow of water through the
group head by pressing the 1 CUP button. This
will stabilise the temperature prior to extraction.

INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER

so that the handle is aligned with the INSERT
position. Insert the portafilter into the group
head and rotate the handle towards the centre
until resistance is felt.
