Focus on perfect dose

     Adjust dose

Achieve Espresso perfection

The coffee filters have a 3mm laser mark inside to identify the level for perfect dose.
Try different levels within the mark, keeping in mind that the minimum dose corresponds 

to the bottom line of the mark and the maximum dose corresponds to the upper line of 

the mark. 

Perfect dose

BARISTA TIP:  

if your coffee is over or under extracted and the dose is within the perfect 

dose range, adjust the grinder settings finer or coarser. 

Over extracted coffee (pouring too slowly) needs coarser grind 

Under extracted coffee (pouring too fast) needs finer grind. 

Each variety of coffee beans can behave  differently during grinding and this is the 

reason why setting the dose at the beginning might require extra care.
With this illustration we give you some indications on how to regulate the dose. Please 

note these suggested setting ranges, based on the roasting level, are certainly a good 

starting point  but they might slightly vary depending on specific composition of your 

coffee beans.
1.  Set the dose (to reach the mark inside of the filter basket, see image for perfect 

dose) starting from the minimum position. 

2.  Look at which roasting level your coffee is and based on that, turn the knob slowly, 

referencing the ranges.
