SETTING THE COFFEE VOLUME
PORTIONS (volumetric portion control)
A flow meter allows the machine to calculate the precise coffee volume you
would like from the single or double porta filter. (Generally 25 to 30ML from the
single porta filter and 50 to 60 ML from the double porta filter). When you are
sure the grind setting is correct you can set the flow meter.
It is important to understand that the volumetric portion control will differ
between each pressure profile. The flow meter will count total water volume
irrespective of the time it may take.
Example; Pump pressure of 9 bar over 30 seconds will yield a different total
volume than 5 bar over the same 30 seconds.
