USING GROUND COFFEE
Ground coffee only has a three day shelf-life, so grind only what you need each time. If
using pre-ground coffee, use a medium to fine grind suitable for espresso machines.
Freshly grind your beans
using the Dualit coffee
grinder or use a pre-ground
coffee suitable for espresso
machines.
Select the appropriate sized
filter (17 -18) depending on
whether you are making one
espresso, a double or two
singles. Make sure it’s dry.
Using the measuring spoon
(19), measure out one level
spoon per serving into the
filter. Use 2 level spoons if
using the 2 cup filter.

too tightly packed filter.

clean. If you don’t, a water
tight seal will not form and
water or coffee will leak
