CHOOSING THE RIGHT COFFEE GRINDS
Coffee Grinds
The coffee should be freshly ground and subjected to deep roasting. You may need to use French or espresso roasted coffee beans for espresso coffee. Pre- ground coffee will keep its aroma for 7 to 8 days. Coffee stored in a sealed container placed in a cool place may retain its aroma longer. Do not store ground coffee in the refrigerator or freezer. When coffee beans are freshly ground, they will better retain their aroma and provide higher quality coffee.

Grind
When making espresso, grinding the beans is a key step and can take some practice to master.

• The correct grind should look like salt.
• If the beans are too finely ground, it may cause the coffee to flow intermittently or fail to brew coffee.
• If the grind is too coarse, the water will flow through the coffee too quickly, which will affect the aroma and taste of the extracted coffee.
• You can adjust the coarseness of the ground coffee by rotating the coffee bean hopper. The grinding position necessary will vary depending on the type and quality of the coffee beans you use, so you need to make appropriate adjustments with each new bean  used to achieve the best results.
• For freshly-roasted coffee beans (within 1 month), the grinding position should be set between 5–10. The DoubleCup (Grind) setting can produce about 0.67 oz (19 g) of coffee and the Single-Cup (Grind) setting can produce about 0.46 oz (13 g), creating a relatively good coffee extraction.
• To avoid creating moisture in the coffee bean hopper and affecting the grinding and the final coffee taste, do not overfill the bean hopper.

To obtain uniform and consistent coffee grinds and make a cup of high-quality coffee, be sure to adjust the grinding setting according to the type and quality of the coffee beans.

Using a Bottomless Portafilter
The bottomless portafilter and Single-Layer Single-Cup filter let you brew barista style and will perfect your technique. We suggest bottomless style brewing for advanced/expert espresso brewers, which will allow the barista to visually see their technique and learn how to improve upon it by diagnosing the errors. Through adjusting the grind size, tamp pressure, and quality/age of the coffee via the bottomless portafilter, your espresso brewing technique will be drastically improved and you will make espresso with richer crema.

NOTE: Using a bottomless portafilter can produce spurts of espresso which can spray the machine, counter and/or the user with espresso. This is caused by incorrectly dosed/ tamped powder or incorrect grind size. Avoid direct contact with the hot liquid when using a bottomless portafilter.
a. Place the Single-Layer Single-Cup filter firmly inside of the bottomless portafilter and ensure it is fully locked.
TIP: Ensure the filter is dry thus no coffee will stick to it.
b. Fill with extra fine ground coffee until it is slightly overflowing and level the coffee with your fingers to fill in all open space inside the portafilter.
NOTE: Ground coffee texture should be finer than sugar, but not as fine as powdered sugar.
c. The bottomless portafilter can be placed on the side of your countertop as shown on the right to create a level tamping surface. Using the flat side of the included coffee scoop/ tamper, pack (tamp) the espresso firmly into the portafilter with approximately 30 pounds of pressure.

NOTE: Use the same amount of pressure it takes to remove a tight lid from a jar.
d. Wipe any coffee grinds from the rim of the Single-Layer Single-Cup filter and the portafilter.
e. Insert and lock the portafilter.

II. Grinding
Before using the grind function, please make sure that all parts are installed in accordance with the requirements below.

Fig. 1: Install the bean hopper and screw it in place.
NOTE: Make sure the red circles on the bean hooper and the rib on the top of appliance are aligned. The red bean hopper indicator will turn off when the bean hopper is installed correctly.

There are markings to show the coffee coarseness on the bean hopper (see Fig. 2). To adjust the grind setting, make sure that the coffee grind setting you want on the bean hopper is aligned with the mark on the rib on the top of the appliance. Fig. 2: From 0 to 30, the coffee powder is ground from fine to coarse. The larger the number, the coarser the coffee powder will be.
Make sure the bean hopper is installed and locked in place.
When the indicator turns from red to off, the grinder is ready for use.
Add the appropriate amount of coffee beans in the bean hopper. To prevent moisture from building up in the hopper, and affecting the grinding and the final coffee taste, do not add too many coffee beans to the hopper.
