Page 8

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.
