It is normal for the correct dose of coffee grinds to
appear overfilled in the Filter Basket before tamping.
Evenly tamp (press) coffee grinds to the level indicated.

^ Ensure coffee beans are fresh. ^^Old coffee beans no matter the Grind Setting will have a fast extraction and
will produce an under extracted tasting espresso. ^^^ Grind time estimates are based on grind setting 16-20.
The higher the grind setting, the shorter the grind time. The lower the grind setting, the longer the grind time.
