4. Pressing
After grinding, the coffee has to be pressed with the aid of a manual presser,
the only tool that guarantees absolute precision.
5. Filter holder cleaning – second part
Now clean the filter holder again, this time along the edges, to remove any
grounds. Without this step, the coffee grounds on the sides of the filter holder
will burn during the extraction process, giving an unpleasant taste to the brew.
Furthermore, these excess grounds can also cause damage to the rubber
gasket inside the machine.
6. Spounts cleaning
After cleaning the filter holder edges, it is necessary to clean the spouts – the
two hollow ends from which the brew is poured. These are always to be cleaned
before every new extraction, like all the other elements used during the process.
7. Extration
Fit the filter holder; now the brew can be extracted in a time calculated between
20 and 30 seconds, according to the parameters set by Scae (Specialty Coffee
Association of Europe).
