Screen will indicate if tamp or dose is low, ideal
or high.
HOW TO CORRECT AN UNDER OR
OVER DOSE?
An under or over dose can occur when fresh
beans are added to the hopper; when coffee
beans age; a different type of coffee bean is
used or if a change is made to the grind size.
What to do when dose level is below the ideal
middle bar?
• When dose is below the ideal middle bar, the
machine will indicate and calculate 'A Bit
More'. Tap the portafilter image on screen to
add a bit more and follow screen prompts and
complete a tamp for an updated dose level
reading.
• When ideal dose level is reached, the
machine will automatically update the auto
dose time for the next cycle.
What to do when dose level is above the ideal
middle bar?
• When dose is above the ideal middle bar,
remove the portafilter from the cradle.
• Use the Razor Trimming Tool. (refer to
Trimming the Dose section).
• The machine will calculate how much to
reduce the auto grind time and apply this
for the next cycle.
OVER DOSE (TRIMMING THE DOSE)
Precision dose trimming tool
The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool
allows you to trim the puck to the right level for
a consistent extraction.
Insert the Razor™ into the coffee basket until
the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of
the filter basket. The blade of the dosing tool
should penetrate the surface of the tamped
coffee.
Rotate the Razor™ dosing tool back and forth
while holding the portafilter on an angle over
the knock box to trim off excess coffee.
