1. Coffee Beans
For optimum flavour & extraction:
- Buy freshly roasted coffee beans in small
250g batches to reduce the storage time.
- Use within two weeks of opening.
- Store coffee beans in a dry, airtight
container. Place in a cool dark cupboard.
2. Grind Setting
You may need to vary the Grind Setting when
using different coffee beans and depending
on bean freshness. The range of 30 Grind
Settings allows for precision adjustment,
controlling the grind size & ultimately the
characteristics of the resulting extraction.
It may take several incremental adjustments
before you reach your optimum Grind
Setting. Dial in Grind Setting based on pour
time & taste see Espresso Extraction Guide.
- Smaller number settings deliver finer
coffee grinds & a slower extraction.
- Larger number settings deliver coarser
coffee grinds & a faster extraction.
3. Filter Baskets
• Single Wall Filter Baskets
These work with freshly ground coffee
grinds and are supplied with the
Barista Max.
• Dual Wall Filter Baskets
These work best with pre-ground coffee
grinds, but can also be used for freshly
ground coffee grinds
.
These are available for purchase from
Sunbeam. Details are on the back page.
4. Grind Dosage & Tamp Force
For best results, the amount of coffee
grinds dosed should remain consistent.
Evenly tamp (press) coffee grinds to the
level indicated, with firm force 10-15kg.

Tips for Grinding & Tamping
Remember practice makes perfect.
Visit Sunbeam Coffee Hub for online barista tutorials.
Important: Old coffee beans, no matter
the Grind Setting, will have a fast
extraction and will produce an under
extracted tasting espresso.

Note: Pre-ground coffee grinds are too
coarse to use with Single Wall Filter Baskets.
Barista Tip:
After adjusting the Grind Setting it is
important to purge (for 1-2 sec) a small
amount of coffee grinds from the Grinder.
This removes the coffee grinds of the
previous Grind Setting; ensuring the next
espresso extraction is made entirely of the
coffee grinds from the new Grind Setting.
Note: It is normal for the correct dose of
coffee grinds to appear overfilled in the
Filter Basket before tamping.
