15-20kgs of pressure). The amount of
pressure is not as important as the consistent
pressure every time.
• As a guide, the top edge of the cap on the
tamper should be level with the top of the lter
basket AFTER the coee has been tamped.
NOTE
Use Razor™ dose trimming tool to
precisely control the dose of ground coee
AFTER you tamp.
TRIMMING THE DOSE
The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool allows
you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent
extraction.
