single wall filters for Aspiring Baristas
Experiment with grind size, grind amount and tamp The appliance is supplied with two
Single Wall Filters - 1 x single shot and 1 x double shot. These filters provide no additional
slowing of the water flow rate, hence experimentation with the grind size, grind amount and
tamp force is required to achieve favorable results. These filters are suited to both pre-ground
vacuum packed espresso as well as beans ground fresh in the integrated grinder. A great
espresso is a balance of main flavor elements: acidity, aroma, bitterness, body, nuttiness,
and sharpness. By using the Single Wall Filters you are free to explore the world of espresso
by adjusting grind, grind amount and tamp to extract a rich variety of flavors.
