3.2 The perfect dose
• The coffee filters have a mark inside to identify the level for
perfect dose.
• Ensure the coffee is at the recommended dosage level after
tamping. You may need to adjust the dosage dial more
times before reaching the perfect dose.
• If your coffee is over or under extracted and the dose is
within the perfect dose range, adjust the grinder settings
finer or coarser (see Step 1 - grinding).

ADJUSTMENT
1. After grinding, pull the
lever (A20) down fully
(do not remove portafil-
ter). For a perfect result,
you can do it twice.
Perfect
dose
Each variety of coffee beans can behave differently during grin-
ding and this is the reason why setting the dose at the beginning
might require extra care.
With this illustration we give you some indications on how to
regulate the dose. Please note these suggested setting ranges,
based on the roasting level, are certainly a good starting point,
but they might slightly vary depending on specific composition
of your coffee beans.
1. Set the dose starting from the minimum position.
2. Look at which roasting type your coffee is and based on
that, turn the knob slowly, referencing the ranges.

2. Keep the lever down
while removing the por-
tafilter. Once it is done,
place back the lever in its
original position.
Over extracted coffee (pouring too slowly) needs coarser
grind
Under extracted coffee (pouring too fast) needs finer grind.
• Barista tip: Pull the filter holder out while the tamper is
still down for polished finish of coffee.
• Using pre-ground coffee:
- add the pre-ground coffee in the filter
- turn the dial to
- attach the filter holder to the machine;
- pull the lever down.
• Please note: If any residual ground coffee remains after
tamping, it will not impact the quality of the extraction.
