Tips and Instructions for Use

Grind Consistency

Consistency in grind size is crucial. Ensure that your coffee grounds are uniform in size to promote an even extraction. Aim for a consistent grind size to optimize the brewing process.

Dose Properly

Use an appropriate amount of coffee grounds. For a standard double shot, a common starting point is around 18-20 grams of coffee. Adjust the dose based on your machine and preferences.

Distribution

Distribute the coffee grounds evenly in the portafilter basket using a distribution tool or your fingers. This ensures that water flows through the coffee bed uniformly, promoting consistent extraction.

Tamp Evenly

Tamp the coffee grounds evenly and firmly using a calibrated tamper. Apply consistent pressure to create a level surface. Proper tamping ensures that the water can penetrate the coffee bed evenly.

Check for Channeling

One of the main benefits of a bottomless portafilter is its ability to help you detect channeling. Channeling occurs when water finds a path of least resistance through the coffee puck, leading to uneven extraction. If you notice spurts of espresso coming from one area of the portafilter, it may indicate channeling. Adjust your technique to avoid this issue for better results.
