1measured scoop finely ground espresso or 1 espresso pod

6-7 ounces hot water

Place a 6 to 8-ounce glass or mug on the drip tray underneath the steam wand. Turn the steam/hot water dial to the hot water setting. Allow water to flow into the cup/mug until it is about 2⁄3 full and turn dial back to off position.
