How to Use a Portafilter

Brew Espresso Your Way with the Portafilter

The Coffee Station's portafilter gives you the flexibility to brew espresso using either ground coffee or Nespresso® capsules. With simple setup and secure locking, you can easily switch between brewing styles to suit your preference.

How to Use the Portafilter

  1. For ground coffee, insert the single or double basket into the portafilter, add finely ground espresso, and tamp evenly.
  2. For Nespresso® capsules, insert the capsule into the adapter, secure the cap, then place the adapter into the portafilter.
  3. Insert the portafilter into the brew head and turn right to lock into place (you’ll feel slight resistance).
  4. Select your brewing function and press Start.

TIP: If the portafilter won’t lock, check that it isn’t overfilled, the rim is clean, and any adapter is properly seated.
