HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO

SELECTING THE FILTER SIZE
This machine includes 4 filters: 2 single wall filters and 2 dual wall filters.
Single wall filters:
Use single wall filters if grinding fresh whole coffee beans. Single wall filters allow you to experiment with grind and dose to create a more balanced espresso.
Dual wall filters:
Use dual wall filters if using pre-ground coffee. Dual wall filters regulate the pressure and help to optimize the extraction regardless of the grind, dose or freshness. The provided filters are designed for:
ONE CUP filter = approx. 13-15g
TWO CUP filter = approx. 19-21g
Insert either the ONE CUP or TWO CUP filter into the portafilter.

TAMPING THE GROUND COFFEE
01. Using the tamper, tamp down firmly using approx. 11-22 lbs (5-10kg) of pressure.
02. Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the filter to ensure a proper seal is achieved in the brew head.
As a guide to using the right amount of ground coffee, the top edge of the metal cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter after the ground coffee has been tamped.
Also, the MAX marks on both of the filters are intended to assist in identifying the right amount of ground coffee more easily.
NOTE:
The surface of the ground coffee should not be beyond the MAX mark after tamping, otherwise the portafilter might not be able to be locked into the brew head.
