Operating instructions
These instructions assume the grind texture and the dose have been
adjusted correctly. If not, see previous page.
1. Remove lid from hopper and fill hopper with coffee beans.
2. Turn on the grinder at its on-off switch and grind enough coffee to
fill all chambers in the dosing unit. Don’t fill the dispensing unit
beyond about two thirds of its capacity.
3. Switch grinder off at its on-off switch.
4.
Roll coffee
. Rolling coffee is achieved by placing the dispensing
unit lid under the dosing unit outlet and operating the dosing lever
to dispense coffee grounds onto the lid. Pull the dosing lever fully
forwards to its end, release it and allow it to spring back to its
resting position. Do this about five times, then return the ground
coffee on the lid back into the dispensing unit.
Repeat this process one more time to ensure all six dosing
chambers have been evenly filled with rolled coffee and that there
is no air trapped in the chambers.
5. Fit a single or double cup filter basket to the coffee handle and
hold the handle so the filter basket is under the dosing unit outlet.
Operate the dosing lever to dispense coffee grounds. See
previous page for a guide on the number of doses needed for
each type of Elektra domestic espresso machine.

6.
Tamp the grounds.
Tamping compresses the
coffee grounds to give a uniform flow of water
through the grounds, ensuring complete
extraction of coffee. After tamping, gently
twist the tamper to feather the grounds to the
side of the filter basket to give a clean edge.
This helps ensure an even flow of water
through the grounds.
