How to use

Remove the existing filter basket from the 57 mm portafilter by pushing it out from the underside or using an appropriate removal tool. Insert the replacement basket into the portafilter until it seats flush and stable. Dose ground coffee according to the selected basket size (single or double), distribute and tamp evenly, then lock the portafilter into the group head to begin extraction. After use, rinse the basket to remove coffee residue and perform periodic deep cleaning to maintain flow and hygiene.

Usage recommendations

For best results, verify basket fit before each use and avoid excessive tamping force that could deform the basket. Clean baskets regularly with hot water and a mild detergent or dedicated espresso-cleaning solution; perform occasional backflushing of the machine according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Use the appropriate basket size to match your dose to optimize extraction yield and shot consistency.
