If to turn down you feel it’s too heavy and being uncomfortable, or
the handle lock, stop immediately.
Wait the pressure goes down, and then just keep spinning slowly
until the end before open the portafilter safety. It happens because
the ground coffee is too finer creating a layer of high resistance. Use
the same amount of ground coffee but grind it a little bit more thick
and make all the process again.
In case the handle downs too fast, without any resistance that
means the coffee ground is too thick, it avoid creating ideal
resistance. Grind it a little bit more finer. It’s perfect when it gets a
little heavy, but without causing discomfort to the spin.
Every time you start lowering the handle, you start the internal pressure
and need to take some care. If for some reason you want to stop the
process, stop lowering the handle and wait a few seconds for the pressure
to decrease so you can safely raise the handle. Never go down and up
quickly. This can cause a very rapid depressurization that will spill water
out of the Aram coffee maker®.
