COFFEE DOSE AND TAMPING
• Wipe coff ee basket with a dry cloth.
• If using Single Wall fi lter baskets, grind
enough coff ee to fi ll the coff ee basket.
You may need to experiment with the
amount of coff ee to achieve the correct
dose.
• Tap the portafi lter several times to
distribute the coff ee evenly in the fi lter
basket.
• Tamp down fi rmly (using approx.
15-20kgs of pressure). The amount of
pressure is not as important as consistent
pressure every time.
• As a guide to dose, the top edge of the
metal cap on the tamper should be level
with the top of the fi lter basket AFTER the
coff ee has been tamped.
• Wipe excess coff ee from the rim of the
fi lter basket to ensure a proper seal in the
group head is achieved.
TRIMMING THE DOSE
The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool
allows you to trim the puck to the right level
for a consistent extraction.
The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool
allows you to trim the puck to the right level
for a consistent extraction. Insert the Razor™
into the coff ee basket until the shoulders
of the tool rest on the rim of the fi lter
basket. The blade of the dosing tool should
penetrate the surface of the tamped coff ee.
Rotate the Razor™ dosing tool back and forth
while holding the portafi lter on an angle over
the knock box to trim off excess coff ee.
Your coff ee fi lter basket is now dosed with
the correct amount of coff ee.
