  „I use a shorty screwdriver to remove the disperser screen (the showerhead) and I place the parts in a 4-cup glass measuring cup. I remove the double shot filter basket and replace it with a “blind insert.” I fill the blind insert with 2 teaspoons of PuroCaff (TSP and some buffering agents) and run through a backflush cycle that takes about five minutes. ** This backflushing can only be performed on a unit that is equipped with a “triple action bypass” valve! ** Don’t try it on a conventional unit.“

  „The tamper should be made of aluminum or similar light metal and should have a diameter so that it fits firmly into the basket. Marzocco baskets are 58mm, so order the appropriate size. Without a flat packing surface you create indents which cause uneven extraction. You may order your tamper from Vivace's , which sells pistons of several different sizes to perfectly fit your basket.“

  „Dose ground espresso into the portafilter until the coffee is level with the top level of the portafilter basket. With your left hand (if you are right handed), hold the tamper down steady. With a tamper in your right hand, pack the coffee down into the portafilter with all your strength. I use a technique called NSEW when packing espresso.“

  „This seems to be particularly evident as the pull nears its end. With the La Marzocco basket the crema remains darker throughout. The Crema in the shot is noticeably darker as well even after the pull settles down (the "Guiness Effect"). The output from the portafilter is noticeably thicker, resembling the "warmed honey" to which brewing espresso is so often compared.“

  „      Recently I have made some adjustments to my procedure- particularly to the dosing. I fill the basket (I am still using the La Marzocco double basket) about 2/3 full, gently shake it sideways to get the coffee fairly level in the basket, then lightly rap the spout of the portafilter two times on the counter top. This visibly settles the grounds in the basket just a little bit. I then fill to a bit more than full, and then level the coffee across the top of the basket with the handle to a plastic coffee dosing spoon.“
