Notes:

• If you use an electric kettle to make coffee, boil water and open the lid and wait about 60 seconds before pouring ( The ideal temperature to brew coffee is 201ºF ~ 94ºC)
• Please pour gently so that the water penetrates through the coffee and does not pour heavily into the coffe

1. Grind and dose coffee

Remove the portafilter. Wipe it clean and dry out the basket. Zero out the scale and grind about 20g of coffee to the consistency of confectioner’s sugar directly into the portafilter. Tap it once or twice to settle it and distribute the coffee evenly with your finger. Tamp the portafilter until it feels like the coffee is pushing back. Make sure your coffee bed is level.

2. Prep the machine

Purge water through the grouphead to make sure everything is hot, then lock the portafilter into place.

3. Pull a shot

Engage the grouphead and start the timer. Place a cup under portafilter and watch the espresso for a steady stream that should look like little mouse tails. The entire extraction should take about 23-28 seconds to brew about 1.5 ounces of espresso, is 45g out of water

Notes: If it takes too much longer or is pulling too slowly, try a coarser grind. If it brews too quickly, try a finer grind.
