ARO Orbit™ Espresso Distribution Tool v2.0 (Black, 54mm)

Instructions for Setup and Usage:

When setting up the ARO Orbit v2.0 espresso tool, start by installing 10 pins into the gears by inserting them into the corresponding holes. If a pin hole is difficult to reach, try adjusting the tool to move the gears into a more accessible position. For better access to the pin holes, the adjustment sleeve can be removed. Ensure to insert the pins deeply for a tighter grip, but handle with caution as the pins may still be sharp despite having a dulled head.

With an empty portafilter basket, place the tool inside to check if the pin height needs to be adjusted. Holding the tool under a bright light can aid in this process. If adjustment is required, hold the jam nut and rotate the adjustment sleeve until reaching the desired height, then tighten the jam nut against the adjustment sleeve to secure its position.

Fill the portafilter with espresso grounds and place the tool on top, ensuring that the white circle marking a pin hole is closest to the edge for easier placement without any pins catching on the basket. Spin the tool 4-8 times, tapping the portafilter on the counter to settle the grounds after the final spin. Slowly remove the tool from the portafilter, place it in the stand, tamp the grounds, and start brewing your espresso.

This item is additively manufactured and should be hand washed with lukewarm water and soap.
