Congratz you'll love it, glad it was helpful let me know if you have any questions

[@jessyvm]

Hi. Can you show how to use it with ground coffee, please?

[@espressodoctor]

It's pretty much the same puck prep just instead of the single wall basket your are going to swap out and use your dual wall basket (they are marked on the back) and pick the single or double shot dual-wall basket which ever one you prefer, first add pre-ground espresso, second tamp it, third use the razor to shave off any extra espresso, finally insert the portafilter into the group head and press Single or Double shot button depending which basket you chose

[@millennium677]

how do you get more pressure, even with the grind at the finest i still can't get the pressure up using a duel layer cup

[@espressodoctor]

Ok so it's most likely the freshness of your coffee, buy a brand new bag/can or get a bag from your local roastery and don't keep it/use it for longer than 30 days. So get a 250g or 500g depending on how much coffee you drink and how many people are using the machine so that you always run out at day 30. Then make sure you use 18g so use a scale if you have to to measure your volume, and finally when you tamp it make sure you don't tamp it super hard or very light when you hit the buttom - stop.

@@espressodoctor the coffee is brand new from the supermarket, I bought it two days ago

@millennium677 ok is it pre-ground or whole beans? What brand is it? Maybe it's just a bad coffee, if you get this Illy Classico amzn.to/4fWBpqU for example I can tell you right away you will need to grind it with setting 7 or 8, pour 18g in the double shot single wall basket you should be good, if that doesn't work maybe you just got a faulty machine
