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.
