...the Espresso Machine
f. Can I fill other liquids into the water tank, such as milk or sweetened water?
•No, you will destroy the pump and the Thermoblock system.
g. Can I use distilled water?
•Yes, although distilled water is free of important minerals and may give your coffee a different taste. You can also use "reverse osmosis" water.
h. Can I use the machine overseas with a converter?
•We do not recommend it. The machine is designed for 120 volts/ 60Hz. Other voltage and Hz cycles might damage the machine. Also, Capresso's warranty covers the United States only (see chapter 23).
i. Can I send the machine to another country with
•Yes, but in case the machine needs service the transportation costs will not be covered by Capresso. Our warranty is limited to the United States (see chapter 23).
j. I have a small grinder with a blade. Can I use this grinder to grind my coffee for this machine?
•Try it. In most cases blade grinders will create too much "coffee dust". It will clog the fine holes in the sieve. The water will not be able to pass through the coffee. A burr grinder gives you a more consistent grind (chapter 8).
k. How long can I leave the machine on?
•The EspressoClassic is in standby when not in use. You can leave it on all day long.
