^ Ensure coffee beans are fresh.
^^ Old coffee beans no matter the Grind Setting will have a fast extraction and will produce an under extracted tasting espresso.
New Burrs are bedding in during the first few uses. The Grind
Setting may require incremental adjustments before you reach
your optimum espresso extraction.
It is normal for the correct dose of coffee grinds to appear overfilled in the Filter
Basket before tamping. Evenly tamp (press) coffee grinds to the level indicated.
