  „A 30 minute warm-up (or longer) is all you need to pre-heat the machine and the portafilter. Be careful about putting too much coffee in the basket. Inserting the portafilter becomes difficult and you may get the dreaded "pfutt" and end up with coffee grounds and water in your cup.“

  „A blind filter basket or a backflush insert - A blind portafilter is a filter basket that has no holes in it. It would obviously be no good for brewing espresso as there is no way for the water to go through it. The alternative to a blind filter is a special rubber insert that is placed in a standard basket and plugs it up much in the same way that one of the flat rubber sink stoppers work.“
