THE PERFECT ESPRESSO

• Step One: Choose the correct group handle for the drink you plan to make
  
  

  Use single handle for:

  Single espresso Cappuccino Caffe Latte Café Mocha

• Step Two: The taste of your coffee will be directly affected by the amount of coffee you dispense into the group handle.
  
  

  Single handle:	One complete pull no more – no less
  Double handle:	Two complete pulls no more – no less

• Step Three: Tamp the coffee. Hold the group handle in your weaker hand, tamp with your writing hand. As you tamp give the handle a good hard twist left to right to ensure a solid pack.

• Step Four: Wipe the excess grounds from the rim of the filter. Note: this will ensure that you don’t have coffee grounds build up on the rubber seal in the brewing head. Over time this build up will cause grounds to leak into the coffee drink you are preparing.

• Step Five: Brew the espresso into a demitasse.

  Remember: the correct brewing time for an espresso is approximately 25 seconds
