Tamp between 30-40lbs or
15-20kg of pressure.
Coffee is ground too
coarsely.
Use slightly finer grind.

date and use within 2 weeks
of this date.
If using pre-ground coffee, use
within a week of grinding.
The filter basket may
be blocked.
Use the pin on the end of

Single Wall filter baskets
are being used with
