DON'T MAKE
THIS MISTAKE!
Transcript
You might be damaging your espresso setup every time you knock out your puck. Your basket does more than hold coffee. That top rim also helps seal against the group gasket. If you're smashing it against the knockbox everyday, especially with thinner baskets on budget espresso setups, you can slowly dent that edge and cause water to leak around your porta filter. Instead, give it a few firm taps with your hand. First, it loosens the puck, helps the puck screen come out easier and puts less stress on the basket. So next time you knock out your puck, maybe don't take your whole day out on it.

Your knock box might be doing more damage than you think. ☕️ Hitting your portafilter too hard can slowly bend the basket rim, especially on thinner baskets. That small change can affect the seal and eventually cause leaks around the portafilter. Try a few firm taps with your hand first. It helps release the puck and puck screen with much less stress on the basket. Your espresso setup will thank you. 😂 #espresso #homebarista #coffeetips #espressotips #espressomachine
