How to adjust the shot volume (00:04):
1. Grind, dose and tamp your portafilter. Press the ‘Program’ button then insert the portafilter into the group head.
2. Press the ‘Volume’ button to program either the ‘1-cup’ button or the ‘2-cup’ button. This will start the extraction.
3. Once the chosen volume has been extracted, press the same button to stop the extraction. The machine will beep twice to confirm.

How to change the temperature (00:29):
