using the provided measuring spoon. Fig. 3

Note: The pressure applied to the ground coffee in the filter is as important as the coffee variety and grind size for a good espresso, along with the amount of coffee added to the filter. Always ensure the espresso filter is clean and free from coffee residue.

• If the grind is too fine, over-extraction will occur, resulting in more bitter coffee notes with irregular crema and spots on top.
• If the grind is too coarse, water will pass through too quickly, resulting in inadequate crema on top of the espresso.
• If the coffee is too watery, you will need to fill the filter with more ground coffee.
• Tamp the ground espresso coffee again with the tamper.
• Clean any excess coffee from the rim to ensure proper fit under the brewing head and prevent leakage.
• Tamping the ground espresso coffee is a crucial process in espresso preparation.
• If the ground espresso coffee is tamped too firmly, the espresso will flow slowly and there will be more crema.

• If the ground espresso coffee is not tamped firmly enough, the espresso will flow faster and there will be less crema.

• Secure portafilter to the brewing head and slide the handle to the left. Then rotate the portafilter handle to the right until it locks into place. Release the handle; the portafilter should be firmly seated in the brewing head and pointing forward at a 90° angle. Fig. 4
