Barista Tips
When brewing multiple shots:
1. Use a towel to clean and dry the filter basket before filling
with coffee. This will help insure even coffee extraction.
2. To maintain the proper brewing temperature, it is important to
keep the brew group warm, so:
Do not rinse the portafilter with tap water – doing so will
cool the filter. It’s best to wipe leftover grounds from the
filter with a towel.
When you’re busy with other tasks, like grinding coffee or
frothing milk, keep the empty portafilter warm by attaching
it to the brew head.
