„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. I dab a clean dishtowel in the diluted backflushing liquid that has filled the drip tray and I carefully wipe down the outside of the machine, trying to get into all of the nooks and crannies between the switches and in the joints between pieces of the housing.“

Espresso Tamping (INeedCoffee.com)
„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.“

„Doesn't that alter the flavor between a single and a double? In another word, if I order 2 cups of espresso ristretto, one for me and one for my wife, you will use the 14 gram basket, but if I order a double espresso just for me, you will use the 21 gram triple basket?“

Espresso Tamping (INeedCoffee.com)
„Although speed is important, it is necessary to be careful not to bump the basket during this process. Sharply hitting the basket will unevenly distribute the grounds allowing shortcuts for the water to pass through. If there are any weak spots or holes in the espresso pellet the water will push through this area, over extracting this portion of coffee while under extracting the rest of the pellet. Improper tamping will result in a twirling pour or white crema.“
