Congratulations! You have selected a quality Coffee and Espresso Machine.
This unique appliance has been designed to provide you with delicious espresso,
cappuccino and coffee quickly and conveniently.
There are various roasts of coffee. You can select mild roasts such as Sumatra, Colombian,
Jamaica Blue Mountain, Ethiopian, Mexican Altura or more robust roasts such as French,
Vienna or Italian. For the freshest, most full-flavored coffee, it is best to use freshly ground
coffee. You may choose to grind your beans daily with a grinder and store them in an air-tight
®
container. We recommend a MR. COFFEE Burr Mill to store your beans and grind them daily.
Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through finely
ground coffee. Popular in Europe, it is a far richer and more full-bodied brew than regular
American coffee. Because of its richness, espresso is usually served in 1-1/2 to 2 oz. portions,
in demitasse cups. This machine makes espresso in 2 oz. portions. Most espresso drinkers
outside of Europe prefer cappuccino, a drink made with about one third espresso, one third
steamed milk, and one third frothed milk.
Preparing espresso or cappuccino is very different from brewing regular drip coffee in that
the espresso machine operates under pressure and requires special attention.
Please read ALL of the instructions, cautions, notes and attentions in this Instruction Manual
carefully before you begin to use this appliance. Proper care and maintenance will ensure the
long life of this machine and its trouble-free operation. Save these Instructions and refer to
them often for cleaning and care tips.
