Machine tip: Adjust dose to fit your portafilter basket (we use VST 20 g) and grind finer or coarser to hit the target time.

Hot Tips:
• Pre-heat your portafilter before dosing.
• Look for heavy, oily drips that become a steady stream by 8–10 seconds.
• Tweak grind size—not dose—to dial brew time.
