How to Brew Espresso (Ground Coffee)

  1. Insert the single or double basket into the portafilter.
  2. Add finely ground espresso (1 level scoop for single, 2 for double; do not overfill).
  3. Tamp the grounds firmly and evenly; ensure the surface is level and clean any excess from the rim.
  4. Insert the portafilter into the brew head and turn right to lock in place (you’ll feel resistance).
  5. Place a heatproof cup on the metal coaster (flip it to adjust height if needed).
  6. Press Espresso, then select Single or Double.
  7. Press Start to brew (the unit will preheat if needed).

TIP: Wait at least 60 seconds before removing the portafilter after brewing, then use the retention clip to safely discard the grounds.
