Practical tips for everyday use

For best results, consider small adjustments in your routine. A slightly finer grind, precise dosing, even puck distribution, and steady tamping can influence the shot's uniformity. If channeling appears, try a distribution tool to level the puck and maintain even pressure.

• Grind size: Move toward a slightly finer grind for better flow balance.
• Dosing and distribution: Use the included basket and distribute evenly before tamping.
• Tamping: Apply consistent, even pressure to reduce bumps and inconsistencies.

Note: If you encounter seal or locking differences on certain machines, you may need a small adjustment in the rotation angle during locking to achieve a snug seal. The design encourages mindful setup without implying guaranteed outcomes.

Why choose CAPFEI
