5.1 Making Espresso

1. Prepare the Portafilter: Insert the desired filter basket (single or double) into the portafilter.

3. Tamp the Coffee: Use the tamper end of the measuring spoon to gently press the coffee grounds evenly. Do not over-tamp, as this can lead to inadequate pressure and poor extraction.
4. Attach Portafilter: Align the portafilter with the group head on the machine and twist it firmly to the right until it locks into place.
