tank should be filled with fresh, cold

water or any other liquid.
SETTING THE GRIND SIZE
The grind size will affect the rate of water
flow through the coffee in the filter basket
and the flavour of the espresso. When
setting the grind size, it should be fine but
not too fine and powdery.
There are 18 settings on the GRIND SIZE
select dial - The smaller the number, the
finer the grind size. The larger the number,
the coarser the grind size. We recommend
you start at the No. 5 setting and adjust
as required.

• Place the portafilter into the
grinding cradle.

ADJUSTING THE GRIND AMOUNT
Set the GRIND AMOUNT dial to the
3 o’clock position as a starting point for dose
amount. Adjust towards LESS or MORE as
required to adjust the dose amount so the cap
on the supplied tamper is level with the top
edge of the filter basket rim, AFTER tamping.
NOTE
You may need to adjust the GRIND
AMOUNT dial a few times to achieve
the correct grind amount.
MANUAL DOSING
• With the portafilter inserted, push and
hold the micro switch down until the
desired amount of ground coffee has
been dosed.
• To stop the function during a manual
grind function, simply release the
portafilter. This will release the activation
switch to stop the grind function.
TAMPING THE GROUND COFFEE
• Once the grind function has been
completed, carefully withdraw the
portafilter from the grinding cradle,
being careful not to spill any ground
coffee, tap down to collapse and using
the integrated tamper, tamp down firmly
(approx. 15–20 kg of pressure).
TRIMMING THE DOSE
The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool
allows you to trim the puck to the right level
for a consistent extraction.
the Razor
Precision dose trimming tool
Insert the Razor™ into the coffee basket
until the shoulders of the tool rest on the

dosing tool should penetrate the surface
of the tamped coffee.

while holding the portafilter on an angle over
the knock box to trim off excess coffee.
Your coffee filter basket is now dosed with
