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.
