3. Tap the Portafilter to level the ground coffee bed and rest on a flat surface. Use the Tamper to tamp down the ground coffee. Sweep excess coffee grinds from the rim.

4. Position the Portafilter under the Group Head with the handle align to unlock. Raise the Portafilter into the Group Head and twist to the right side to lock.

5. Toggle the Mode Button to select Espresso. Toggle the Dose Button to select the desired number of shots 1 (~ 1 ounce) or 2 (~ 2 ounces).

6. Press the  button to run the selected Espresso cycle.

NOTE: Do not remove the Portafilter when brewing.

TIP: The shot duration should be between 20-30 seconds for 1 and 2 shot selections.

• If less than 20 seconds: decrease grind size and/or increase tamp pressure.
• If more than 30 seconds: increase grind size and/or reduce tamp pressure.
