Dialing in and daily workflow Use fresh coffee and begin near the machine’s recommended dose. Distribute the grounds evenly and keep the portafilter rim clean before locking in. Watch flow and shot time, but make the final decision by taste. Grind finer for a very fast, thin shot and coarser for a choked or overly slow shot. Texture milk immediately after extraction when making a milk drink, then purge and wipe the wand. Change only one grind, dose, yield, or temperature variable at a time so the result is understandable.
