SELECTING FILTER BASKET
SINGLE WALL Filter Baskets
Use Single Wall lter baskets when grinding fresh
whole coee beans.
Single Wall lter baskets allow you to experiment
with grind, dose and tamp to create a more
balanced espresso.
• Use the 1 cup lter basket when brewing single
cups and the 2 cup lter basket when brewing
two cups, stronger single cups or mugs.
DUAL WALL Filter Baskets
Use Dual Wall lter baskets if using
pre-ground coee.
Dual Wall lter baskets regulate the pressure and
help to optimise the extraction regardless of the
grind, dose, tamp pressure or freshness.
• Use the 1 cup lter basket when brewing single
cups and the 2 cup lter basket when brewing
two cups, stronger single cups or mugs.
COFFEE DOSE AND TAMPING
• Using Single Wall lter baskets, grind enough
coee to ll the coee basket.
• Tap the portalter several times to collapse
and distribute the coee evenly in the
lter basket.
• Tamp down rmly (using approx.
15 – 20kgs of pressure). The amount
of pressure is not as important as
consistent pressure every time.
