Brew coffee: Step-by-step

Grab your portafilter and put freshly ground coffee in it.
In our setup, we grind the coffee directly into the portafilter by weight. Alternatively, you grind the coffee and pour it into your portafilter.
Then you tamp the coffee. We use a PuqPress to achieve a consistent result every time.
Insert the portafilter into the group head.
Select the recipe you want to use on the display. You switch between recipes by turning the knob.
There is a remote control on the side of the machine. Here you can control everything very easily.
Press the brewing head. The coffee will now brew.
There is a 2-3 second wait before brewing begins, during which the Heylo brings the entire system up to temperature.
After brewing, always remember to knock out the coffee grounds so that you have a completely clean and dry machine. Doing so ensures that there are no coffee oils that burn inside giving a bad taste.
You can then put the portafilter back in place or make a new cup of espresso.
