TAMPING
When the grind cycle is completed, the TAMP light indicator blinks.
•
Push the lever downwards to the end position until a beep sound plays. This will tamp the coffee
grinds in the portafilter using a consistent amount of tamp force. Pushing the lever slowly and
consistently will help to improve the puck appearance.
BEEP!
•
Release the lever slowly upwards to the home position after tamping.
TIP
It is recommended to tamp twice to achieve a very polished coffee puck.

The bar on the machine indicates ideal tamp level and the right amount of coffee grind is in
the portafilter. This is the level that you are aiming for.
