NOTE
You may need to experiment with how much
coee is dosed into the lter baskets or how
long the grinder needs to run to achieve the
correct dose. For example; when using a
ner espresso grind with the Single Wall lter
baskets, you may need to increase the grind
amount to ensure the lter basket is correctly
dosed.
COFFEE DOSE AND TAMPING
• Insert the lter basket into the portalter.
• Grind enough coee to ll the lter basket.
• Tap the portalter several times to collapse
and distribute the coee evenly in the
lter basket.
• Using the tamper, tamp down rmly (approx.
15-20kgs of pressure). The amount of
pressure is not as important as the consistent
pressure every time.
• As a guide, the top edge of the cap on the
tamper should be level with the top of the lter
basket AFTER the coee has been tamped.
NOTE
Use Razor™ dose trimming tool to precisely
control the dose of ground coee AFTER you
tamp.
TRIMMING THE DOSE
The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool
allows you to trim the puck to the right level
for a consistent extraction.
• Insert the Razor™ tool into the coee basket
until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim
of the basket.
• Rotate the Razor™ dosing tool back and forth
while holding the portalter on an angle over
the knock box to trim o excess coee grinds.
Your coee lter is now dosed with the correct
amount of coee.
• Wipe excess coee from the rim of the lter
basket to ensure a proper seal is achieved
in the group head.
PURGING THE GROUP HEAD
Before placing the portalter into the group
head, run a short ow of water through the
group head by pressing the 1 CUP button. This
will stabilise the temperature prior to extraction.
INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER
Place the portalter underneath the group head
so that the handle is aligned with the INSERT
position. Insert the portalter into the group
head and rotate the handle towards the centre
until resistance is felt.
LOCK
INSERT
Place your cup/s under the portalter on the drip tray.
