Step by step instructions

Take the portafilter out of your brew group and rinse the group briefly.
Place your clean and dry portafilter on a scale and tare it.
Grind the desired amount of coffee (dose) into your portafilter.
Distribute the ground coffee evenly in the sieve, you can use your finger here or a distributor.
When tamping, it is important to apply pressure vertically to the coffee to ensure even compaction. It is also important to apply pressure only once to avoid channeling.
Remove any coffee residue from the edge of the screen.
Start your shot as soon as you place the portafilter in the group.
Stop your shot when your target yield is reached.
When there’s no more coffees to make, empty, clean and dry your portafilter, flush the group and place the portafilter back into the group to ensure it stays hot.
