HOW TO CORRECT AN UNDER OR
OVER DOSE?
An under or over dose can occur when fresh
beans are added to the hopper; when coffee
beans age; a different type of coffee bean is
used or if a change is made to the grind size.
What to do when dose level is below the
ideal middle bar?
• When tamp is below the ideal middle bar, the
machine is switched to 'A Bit More' mode, the
'Dose' button light will flash.
• Press the 'Dose' button to add 'A Bit More' grinds
to the portafilter, then complete a tamp for an
updated dose level reading.
• When ideal dose level is reached, the machine
will automatically update the auto dose time for
the next cycle.
What to do when dose level is above the
ideal middle bar?
• When tamp is above the ideal middle bar,
remove the portafilter from the cradle.
• Use the Razor Trimming Tool. (refer to Trimming
the Dose section)
• The machine will calculate how much to
reduce the auto grind time and apply this for
the next cycle.
DEDUCT TIME FROM AUTO DOSE
When an over dose is anticipated to occur
before grinding, due to; changing to a coarser
grind size, changing beans, or running out of
beans on previous grind cycle; press and hold
the 'Filter' button for 3 seconds.

DOSE
DOSING MODES
Automatic Dosing
AUTO
MANUAL DOSE
This is the default dose function of the machine
and the mode that will be most commonly used.
The amount of coffee grinds will automatically
dose into the portafilter, and the machine will
provide guidance on achieving the ideal amount
through the Dose Level Gauge.
The machine will adjust the ideal dose on the
next grind.
Under Dose (A Bit More)
After tamping the 'Dose' button will flash
to indicate more grinds is needed into the
portafilter. Press the 'Dose' button to add
'A Bit More' coffee grinds.
Dose Top-up
This feature is ideal when the portafilter already
has coffee but needs more.
For example, in situations where:
• Removing the portafilter during grinding and
failing to re-insert within 5 seconds time out.
• Removing the portafilter after a full grind cycle
without tamping skimming off the top of the
coffee pile.
The machine can top up from that amount
already in the portafilter basket preventing
coffee waste, starting a fresh grind cycle, or
updating the auto grind time. To initiate the top
up, the portafilter will need to be inserted into
the cradle and tamped. If the tamp level displays
an under dose, the dose button will blink
indicating a top up. Press the 'Dose' button to
start the grind and it will dose the right amount
to get the ideal level.
