Basic Guidelines Detailed Guidelines 1. Put the professional or pressurised basket into the portafilter. If you are using pressurised basket, press the portafilter spouts with the help of the silicone o-ring onto the portafilter. The basket is simply placed into the portafilter; there is no spring clip to hold it in place. 2. Add 12-20g ground coffee into basket. Make sure you...

We always recommend Regular Robot for home-user, but it's completely your choice. The Barista Robot with the gauge system is also a bit more involved whereas the Regular Robot is bullet proof.  The Barista Robot has a built in pressure gauge which will display the pressure from the basket during extraction.

Cleaning after use, step by step 1. Lift the lever arms up and place...

Bottomless is best   For best results we recommend using the portafilter without the spouts - but when using the pressurised basket it is best to use with the...

Each Robot is hand-made and unique so each one is slightly different but they all work the same. This guide applies to all Robots, however text in red is specific to the Barista Robot: Normal situation    - If the lever arms do not stay in the upright position: they are designed to be loose on purpose for safety.
