• Insert the Razor™ tool into the coffee basket
until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of
the basket. The blade of the dosing tool should
penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee.
• 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.
• Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the filter
basket to ensure a proper seal is achieved in
the group head.
PURGING THE GROUP HEAD
Before placing the portafilter into the group head,
run a short flow of water through the group head
by pressing the 1 CUP button. This will stabilize
