WARNING: Wipe the ﬁlter basket and portaﬁlter dry with kitchen paper

before dosing with coffee grounds as moisture can encourage "channeling"

where water by-passes the coffee grounds during extraction.

2. SELECTING THE CORRECT FILTER BASKET

Single Wall Filter

The Single Wall Filters are designed to be used with freshly ground coffee. There is

an insert for one cup and a larger insert for 2 cups. Try experimenting for yourself

with the grind, amount and tamp to create your favourite espresso.

1 cup 2 cups

The Single Wall Filter inserts have no markings on the bottom.

Dual Wall Crema System Filter

The Dual Wall Filters are designed to be used with pre-ground coffee and regulate

the pressure to help optimise extraction regardless of the grind, dose or tamp

pressure. There is an insert for one cup and a larger insert for 2 cups.

1 cup 2 cups

The Dual Wall Filter inserts are marked by the DUAL WALL label and the symbol

for one cup resp. two cups on the bottom.

3. GRIND

The coffee beans should be ﬁnely ground, but not too ﬁne. The grind size will

affect the rate at which the water ﬂows through the coffee grounds in the ﬁlter

basket and is crucial to the taste of the espresso.

If the grind is too ﬁne (looks like powder and feels like ﬂour when rubbed bet ween

ﬁngers), the water will not ﬂow through the coffee, even when under high pres-

sure. The resulting espresso will be over extracted, very black and bitter in ﬂavour.

If the grind is too coarse the water will ﬂow through the coffee grounds in the

ﬁlter basket too quickly. The resulting espresso will be under extracted, lacking

in colour and ﬂavour.

NOTE: When using the single wall ﬁlter insert for 1 cup, the grind size should be

ﬁner and the amount of powder should be smaller to ensure full taste.

4. COFFEE DOSE AND TAMPING

Please observe the instructions which have already covered this in the respective

chapters (page 75–76).

In general:

A truly great espresso is a balance of sweet, bitter and sour. The ﬂavour of your

coffee will depend on many factors, such as the type of coffee beans, roasting

temperature, freshness, coarseness or ﬁneness of the grind, dose of coffee

grounds and tamping pressure. Experiment by adjusting these factors to achieve

the perfect ﬂavour for you.
