HOW TO CORRECT AN UNDER OR
OVER DOSE?
An under or over dose can occur when fresh
beans are added to the hopper; when coffee
beans age; a different type of coffee bean is
used or if a change is made to the grind size.
What to do when dose level is below the
ideal middle bar?
•
When tamp is below the ideal middle bar, the
machine is switched to ‘A Bit More’ mode, the
DOSE button light will flash.
DOSE
•
Press the DOSE button to add ‘A Bit More’
grinds to the portafilter, then complete a
tamp for an updated dose level reading.
•
When ideal dose level is reached, the
machine will automatically update the
auto dose time for the next cycle.
What to do when dose level is above the
ideal middle bar?
•
When tamp is above the ideal middle bar,
remove the portafilter from the cradle.
•
Use the Razor Trimming Tool.
(refer to Trimming the Dose section)
•
The machine will calculate how much to
reduce the auto grind time and apply this
for the next cycle.
DEDUCT TIME FROM AUTO DOSE
When an over dose is anticipated to occur
before grinding, due to; changing to a coarser
grind size, changing beans, or running out of
beans on previous grind cycle; press and hold
the FILTER button for 3 seconds.
DOSING MODES
Automatic Dosing
MANUAL DOSE
AUTO
MANUAL
This is the default dose function of the
machine and the mode that will be most
commonly used.
The amount of coffee grinds will automatically
dose into the portafilter and the machine
will provide guidance on achieving the ideal
amount through the Dose Level Gauge.
The machine will adjust the ideal dose on the
next grind.
Under Dose (A Bit More)
After tamping the DOSE button will flash
to indicate more grinds is needed into the
portafilter. Press the DOSE button to add
‘A Bit More’ coffee grinds.
Dose Top-up
This feature is ideal when the portafilter
already has coffee but needs more.
For example, in situations where:
•
Removing the portafilter during grinding and
failing to re-insert within 5 seconds time out.
•
Removing the portafilter after a full grind
cycle without tamping skimming off the top
of the coffee pile.
The machine can top up from that amount
already in the portafilter basket preventing
coffee waste, starting a fresh grind cycle, or
updating the auto grind time.
