OPERATING
Manual Dosing
• If you prefer to manually dose, with
the portafilter inserted in the grinding
cradle, push and hold the portafilter to
engage the grinding activation switch.
Continue holding until the desired
amount of ground coffee has
been dosed.
• To stop grinding, release the portafilter.
This will release the grinding activation
switch and stop the grinding function.
Tamping the Ground Coffee
• Once grinding is complete, carefully
withdraw the portafilter from the
grinding cradle.
• Tap the portafilter several times to
collapse and distribute the coffee evenly
in the filter basket.
• Tamp down firmly using approx.
30–40lbs (15–20kgs) of pressure. The
amount of pressure is not as important
as consistent pressure every time.
• As a guide to dose, the top edge of the
metal cap on the tamper should be level
with the top of the filter basket AFTER
the coffee has been tamped.
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™ dose trimming tool
into the filter basket until the
shoulders of the tool rest on the rim
of the basket. The blade of the dose
trimming tool should penetrate the
surface of the tamped coffee.
• Rotate the Razor™ dose trimming
tool back and forth while holding the
portafilter on an angle over a knock
box to trim off excess coffee grinds.
Your filter basket 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 the temperature prior
to extraction.
