below the edge of the filter basket. When you
press the tamper onto the portafilter, the metal

the filter basket.
After pressing, use the measuring instrument
„Razor“ to remove excess coffee resp. coffee
grounds leftovers from the edge of the portafil-
ter, so that it can be properly installed into the
group head. Refer to step 8 on the next page for
more information.

For ease of use, there are two handy ways to tamper
your coffee:
1. Tamper on board:

allowing for convenient tamping.

remove the portafilter from the grinding cra-
dle and tap to collapse the grind.
b. With the tamper fitted into place, lift the
portafilter towards the tamper base.
c. Push the portafilter upward firmly, applying
even pressure to tamp the coffee.
2. With removed tamper:
The tamper device is removable for hand tamping.
a. Remove the tamper from the machine
b. Once the grind function has been completed,
remove the portafilter from the grinding cra-
dle and tap to collapse the grind.
c. Use one hand to grip the tamper and the
other hand to hold the portafilter handle.
d. Apply even pressure down on the tamper
and press firmly in order to level and pack the
coffee grounds.
