Touchpad Control Panel

CINOART’s PTB-MY is compatible with all portafilter brands, including single, double and bottomless. Given the differences in portafilter height it is crucial that the fork is adjusted correctly prior to use to ensure tamping accuracy and consistency - and to prevent damage to the sensor.

Set up to three preset tamping pressures

Example: Pre-Set icons 10kg, 20kg or 30kg can be adjusted using the P adjustment buttons and then saved by a single push of the Dn-Up button.

Within each pressure preset of the PT2, you can set up to three individual and segmented tamping pressures.

You can also choose between a single, double, or triple tamp for each preset pressure.

Example: 1st Tamp value set at 8kg followed by the 2nd Tamp at 30kg of pressure or any value combination in between 2kg – 38kg.
