Entering Programming

Hold G1B3 for five seconds until “Group Dose Setting” appears.

Navigate menus and adjust variables using B1, <— or −, and B2, —> or +. Use B3 to enter and confirm changes.

Setting Tare Time and Stop-Early

Enter programming and navigate to “Scale Configuration.”

Set “Stop #.#g early”

The “Stop #.#g early” parameter is an offset, which closes the brew valve before the target beverage mass is reached. The purpose of this is to allow for the residual liquid in the portafilter to complete the beverage, without going over. You can set it for each button, both short and long doses; the short doses are used in BREWRATIO mode also.

A good starting point to decide this value is to brew a shot in mass mode. Set your target beverage weight, example 40 g. Pull a shot using this program and note your final beverage weight, example 43.5 g. Now subtract your beverage weight from your target weight to get your stop-early offset, 43.5 g – 40 g = 3.5 g. You may need to adjust this depending on your flow rate.

Set “Scale Tare Time”

The “Scale Tare Time” parameter sets at what moment the machine will tare the cup. The goal is to allow the barista a few seconds after starting the shot to place the cup on the scale tray. If the cup is

placed on the scale after the tare time, the weight of the cup will be counted toward the final beverage mass. Also, any coffee that has made it into the cup before the tare time will not be counted toward the finalbeverage mass.

Set Group Mode

Enter programming and select the mode per group. “Group Dose Settings” > “G# Dose Settings” > “Group # Mode”

Brewing with “Continuous”

The continuous mode is a manual mode, and will not self-terminate. Note: “G#B3 Mode” must be set to “CONTINUOUS” to use this mode. It cannot be set to “3 SEC RINSE.”

Load portafilter to desired dose, engage in group.

Start shot using B3, making sure cup is in place before the programmed tare time.

The weight of the beverage will appear live on the display as the shot brews.

Terminate shot manually when desired beverage mass is achieved, by pressing B3 again.
