^ When using pre-ground bagged grinds, use the Dual Wall Filter Baskets.
^^ Ensure beans or pre-ground grinds are fresh. Old pre-ground grinds & old beans, no
matter the grind size, will not produce a good tasting espresso.
* When using pre-ground bagged grinds, try using a 2 step dose & tamp method:
Dose in half the grinds then tamp & repeat.
** When using pre-ground bagged grinds try tamping a little harder, 15-20Kg of force.
