instructions for use

Before You Start…

We recommend that you get familiar with all the parts of your Coffee Station before operating the machine. With the unit unplugged, begin by inserting the metal filter (g) into the filter holder (f), fit the filter holder into the brewing head, and remove and replace the boiler cap (a). Try the on/off button and steam controller, and check out all parts of the coffee maker as well. Wash all loose parts in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry. It is also recommended that you operate your Brew Station once without coffee using the instructions provided for espresso and coffee making.

CAUTION – PRESSURE

It is important to NEVER open the boiler cap (a) or remove the filter holder (f) while your Coffee Station is turned “ on ”, or as long as there is pressure in the boiler. Please follow the instructions listed below to see if the machine is still under pressure. These safety precautions should be followed while your machine is in use and ten to fifteen minutes after last use of the machine.

Removing Pressure

1.Make sure the machine is in the “ off ” position.

2.Unplug the machine.

3.Hold a pitcher with cold water underneath the steam nozzle and insert nozzle into the pitcher.

4.Once the steam nozzle is immersed in the pitcher of water, turn the steam control knob in a counterclockwise direction. Continue this procedure until no more steam comes out of the steam nozzle.

5.Turn the steam control knob to the clockwise direction.

6.Now you can remove the boiler cap and filter holder.

7.In case there is still water in the boiler chamber, remove the glass carafe and drip tray, and turn the machine upside down to empty any remaining water in the chamber.

Preparing Espresso

Espresso is a far richer and stronger brew than regular coffee. It should be deep, dark and delicious. Most people find that they enjoy it in small quantities because of its richness, and for that reason, espresso is usually served in small (2-2 1/2 oz.) demitasse cups. Your Coffee Station, when properly used, will produce espresso that is deep, dark and delicious. Just follow the instructions and use fresh, well- roasted, pre-ground espresso beans you grind yourself. Remember: Espresso requires a finer grind than regular coffee.

1.Place your Coffee Station near an electrical outlet and plug in the machine. Make sure the espresso button is in the off position.

2.Place the metal filter (g) into the filter holder (f) (see figure 1). The metal is marked on the inside indicating 2 or 4 cups. Fill to the desired level.

3.Fill the metal filter with ground espresso coffee (see figure 2). Pack the coffee lightly and clear any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder. This will ensure the filter holder will fit properly into the brewing head.
