OPERATING
Under Extracted Zone
The gauge needle, when positioned in the lower zone during extraction, indicates the espresso has been extracted with insufficient pressure.
This occurs when the water flow through the ground coffee is too fast and results in an under extracted espresso that is watery and lacks crema and flavor.
Causes for under extraction include the grind being too coarse and/or insufficient coffee in the filter basket and/or under tamping.
Over Extracted Zone
The gauge needle, when positioned in the upper zone during extraction, indicates the espresso has been extracted with too much pressure.
This occurs when the water flow through the ground coffee is too slow and results in an over extracted espresso that is very dark and bitter with a mottled and uneven crema.
Causes for over extraction include the grind being too fine and/or too much ground coffee in filter basket and/or over tamping.
