OPERATION
Prepare a Portalter
1. For best results, use fresh coee. Ground coee should be brewed as soon as possible aer grinding.
2. Select the correct spout and basket conguraon. Single, double and boomless portalters are available
through Synesso™. The single spout portalter is used with a single (7g) basket to brew a single shot. The
double spouted or boomless portalters can be used with double (14g) or triple (18g or 21g) baskets to
brew triple, double, or 2 single shots of espresso.
3. Fill the portalter basket just above level and wipe o the excess.
4. Press straight down evenly on top of the grounds with the tamper.
NOTE: When not in use, keep the portalter engaged in the group head to keep it warm.
Espresso Brewing
1. Grind a dose of coee appropriate to the basket you will be using.
2. Dispense into the portalter basket.
3. Level the mound and compress using a tamper. (A tamper is supplied with the machine.)
4. Engage the portalter into the brew group that has the correct temperature seng for this espresso roast
and pull rmly to the right to set the seal.

rate the puck.
6. When a drip shows at the spout (or on the basket if boomless,) momentarily shi the brew group le
again to advance the process. Repeat to connue advancing thru the brewing process unl complete.
