Using the shot counter on a KASTOR machine
The shot counter shows the machine's real workload: how many espressos each group has pulled. It is the basis for scheduled maintenance, coffee cost control and sales statistics.

Step-by-step guide
Open the statistics menu on the machine display.
Review the total counter and the per-button counters for each group.
Reset the interim counter if needed — for example, at the start of a shift.
Reconcile the shot count with sales at the end of the day.
Plan filter changes and servicing based on the machine's actual mileage.
Tips from KASTOR
- The lifetime counter cannot be reset — it is what helps the service centre assess machine condition.
- A sudden change in average shots per group is a reason to check your grind settings.
