How to Pull Espresso Shots

Congrats! You've pulled a shot. Although your shot is done, there are a few steps to take before you're ready to pull a new one:

1. Remove the portafilter by unlocking it.
2. Flip the portafilter so the basket is facing down over the basket is facing downward over the knock box.
3. Knock the portafilter against the padded bar that runs through the center of the knock box. The puck should come out. If not, knock it again.
4. Wipe the portafilter and basket clean with a clean cloth and return it to the group head. This pre-warms it for the next shot.

Now you're ready to adjust your grind size or tamping style (if necessary) and try your hand at another shot!
