Puck Prep

Tare portafilter on scale
Dose coffee in the center of the portafilter

Grind size

If your shot times are too fast, you will not extract enough from the coffee and your shots may taste hollow and/or sour. If your shot times are too slow, you will extract too much from the coffee and your shots may be astringent and/or bitter. We utilize the grind setting in order to adjust shot times. Grinding finer will slow the shots down. Grinding coarser will speed the shots up. We define shot time as the time from the moment you engage the machine to the moment your shot hits your desired yield (34-36g in our case).
