of the portalter
and/or
Portalter comes
out of the group
head during an
extraction
• Portalter not inserted in
the group head correctly.
• Ensure portalter is rotated to the right
until the handle is past the centre and is
securely locked in place. Rotating past the
centre will not damage the silicone seal.
• There are coee grounds
around the lter basket rim.
• Clean excess coee from the rim of the
lter basket after grinding to ensure
a proper seal in group head.
• Filter basket rim is wet
or underside of portalter
lugs are wet. Wet surfaces
reduce the friction required
to hold the portalter in
place whilst under pressure
during an extraction.
• Always ensure lter basket and portalter
are dried thoroughly before lling with
coee, tamping and inserting into the
group head.
