Tech Tip!  For adjusting portafilter hooks on the PUQPress, visit the Adjust Portafilter Hook - PUQPress Guide!

Step 1: Identify Portafilter Hooks & Adjustment Screws


  1. Turn OFF grinder.
    1. Switch is located on the lower back of the grinder.
  2. Using a flathead screwdriver:
  3. Slightly loosen adjustment screws.



Alert
Do not remove screws!

Step 2: Adjust Portafilter Hooks
  1. While holding a portafilter in one hand... 
  2. Insert portafilter and slide hook UP with the other hand.
  3. Slide hook up just enough so it is close, but does not firmly press, against the portafilter.

Idea
Tech Tip! Image above shows one hand holding the portafilter while using a thumb and forefinger to slide hooks UP. The hook should not 'grip' the portafilter. Yet should be easy to insert and retract without much effort. 

If necessary, ask a buddy to help tighten the screws while holding the portafilter and hook in place!
  1. Tighten adjustment screws.
    1. Don't forget to tighten both sides!

Step 3: Test All Portafilters & Verify Functionality
  1. Portafilters should not significantly differ from each other but to be certain. Test each one!
Example of portafilter properly resting on the grinder hooks!
  1. Repeat Step 2 if a particular portafilter is a little too snug.
  2. Turn ON grinder.
  3. If issues persist or an adjustment screw is missing.
  4. Call Black Rabbit Service for further support.
