Espresso, the manual's way

Brew a coffee (the manual)

The manual's steps.

1. Keep the portafilter locked in between shots, so it stays hot.
2. Flush the group for a few seconds with the paddle to warm the portafilter.
3. Dose at least 7 g per cup and tamp.
4. Lock the portafilter in and put the cup under the spouts.
5. Move the paddle from right to left to start, and back to stop.
6. Knock out the grounds and lock the empty portafilter back in.

The manual's guide for a double: about 60 ml in about 25 seconds. It calls a flush before and after the shot optional.
