NOTE
• Cleaning
1 - All of the flavor comes from the beans, choose different kinds of roasts and
beans according to the type of coffee you make.
2 - For making espresso, medium- or dark-roasted coffee beans are well-suited.
If you use light-roasted coffee beans, the final coffee will be lighter in both its
color and flavor.
3 - Fresh, quality coffee beans will give you the best possible extraction. Bad
beans will not only affect your grinding results but also ruin your final coffee.
There are many types of beans on the market. To ensure best grinding results,
high quality beans are recommended.
4 - Old coffee beans, no matter what the grind setting is, will have a fast extraction
and will produce an under extracted tasting espresso.
5 - Buy coffee grinds well-suited for espresso if you don’t want grinding. When using
pre-ground bagged grinds, try to dose in half the grinds then tamp & repeat again.

The grind size will affect the rate of water flow through the coffee in the filter basket
and the flavor of the espresso. To make good espresso, a fine grind is a must. Co-
arse coffee grinds can make the extraction too fast and lead to an under extraction.
But also note don’t use too fine grinds to avoid water blockage or overflow from
the portafilter. After tamping, make sure wipe away any excess coffee grinds on
the edges of the portafilter before installing it to the machine.
2 - Grind Size
Add a proper amount of coffee grinds to
the portafilter, thedose of the single cup is
around 7 grams, and the double cup
is around 14 grams but not past the MAX line.
