– Gently tap the portafilter on a worktop to evenly spread out the coffee grounds
in the filter basket. Use the tamper to tightly tamp down the coffee powder. You
can either do this by mounting the tamper into the machine and pressing the
portafilter against it from below or removing the tamper from the appliance and
tamp the coffee powder in the portafilter by hand.
Press down with approx. 15–20 kg of pressure and repeat the tamping several times.
Applying consistent pressure is more vital than applying extremely high pressure.
After tamping, you might need to add some more coffee grounds and tamp again to
ensure there is enough coffee grounds in the filter basket for the coffee you desire.
TIP: After tamping, the coffee powder should be level with the edge of the filter insert.
When pressing the tamper onto the portafilter, the metal part of the tamper should just
so disappear in the filter insert.
NOTE: When using finely ground coffee for the single wall filter basket, you might
need to use less coffee than usual to achieve the right amount.
– After tamping, remove any coffee residue from the rim of the filter basket so that
it can be inserted into the group head properly (see next chapter).

The specially designed measuring instrument „Razor" helps you remove excess
coffee grounds and clean the portafilter edge at the flick of a wrist.
Place the „Razor" in the filter basket, the punched out corners of the instrument lie
on the edge of the portafilter.
Turning the instrument to the left and right while holding the portafilter over the
drip tray will remove excess ground coffee from the portafilter edge. The amount of
ground coffee in the filter basket will be just right.
