Filling In Coffee Powder Manually; Tamping The Coffee Powder - Gastroback Design Espresso Advanced Barista Bedienungsanleitung

12. Wait until the grinder stops automatically or stop the grinder manually by pres-
sing the grinder button again. Then pull the portafilter out of the grinder cradle
and use the tamper for pressing the coffee powder into the filter basket (see:

'Tamping the Coffee Powder').

FILLING IN COFFEE POWDER MANUALLY

IMPORTANT - Only use coffee powder that is suited for espresso machines with a
sufficiently fine grind size. If the grind size is too coarse, your coffee will be weak
and watery. Do not overfill the filter basket. After tamping, above the surface of
the coffee powder there must be 2-3mm of free space to the rim of the filter bas-
ket. For filling, you may use a measuring spoon. Do not fill coffee powder into the
POD filter basket. This filter basket is for coffee pads only.
13. Ensure that the filter basket and portafilter are completely dry. Otherwise, during
extraction, the water may miss the coffee powder and flow at the rim of the filter
basket.
14. When using the filter basket for 1 cup or 2 cups: For your first tries, we recom-
mend to fill in 6-8g coffee powder for extracting 1 cup of espresso.
15. When using the POD filter basket: Place the coffee pad into the filter basket and
push the coffee pad towards the bottom of the filter basket with your fingers.
Ensure that the strips of paper stick to the internal surface of the filter basket. The
coffee pad must be well centred inside the filter basket and the rim of the coffee
pad may not protrude the rim of the filter basket. Otherwise, the water runs out
during extraction and the machine cannot apply the required pressure.
NOTE
If the coffee pad is somewhat too large for the filter basket, you may fold in the
rim of the coffee pad.
IMPORTANT - Only use 1 coffee pad for each extraction. If required, extract 2
espressi one after the other.
TAMPING THE COFFEE POWDER
16. Distribute the coffee powder as evenly as possible. Carefully tapping at the sides
of the portafilter may be useful.
17. Tamp the coffee powder via the tamper of the appliance. Try to get an even
surface that leaves at least 2-3mm of free space to the rim of the filter basket.
