COFFEE PREPARATION
Dosing & Tamping the Ground Coffee
Insert the correct Filter Basket into the portalter.
Fill the Filter Basket with ground coffee, tap down
to collapse the coffee, then using the integrated
tamper, tamp down rmly.
It’s important to apply 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 lter basket AFTER the
coffee has been tamped.
• Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the lter
basket to ensure a proper seal in the group
head is achieved.
