My extraction time is inconsistent with my new Puqpress?

Extraction time can vary when the Puqpress is new. Please view the Run-In process in the setup videos.

If you are using an under grinder automatic tamper it is important to dose according to the size of the basket.

E.G If you are using a 20-gram Filter basket, for best tamping effect, fill it with 20 grams of coffee.
