•Cappuccino: Espresso plus 3 to 4 oz. of hot frothed milk.

•Café Mocha: Make Espresso then add chocolate syrup to the milk before frothing/steaming.

3.3 Coffee Facts
•Caffeine is tasteless. A "strong" coffee or espresso is mostly the result of the amount of coffee in relation to the amount of water. The longer a bean is roasted, the less caffeine it has.
•Arabica and Robusta are two genetically different kinds of beans. "Arabica" beans have more flavor and a little less caffeine than "Robusta" beans which are mostly used in lower priced coffees and instant coffees.
•Espresso is not a bean, it's the way the coffee is roasted and prepared. Typical US espresso roasts result in darker beans with an oily surface. European espresso roasts are medium brown with no or very little oils on the surface. Please note: Dark, oily beans: see chapter 7.
4.Please Don't... (or you void your warranty protection):
• Never pull out the drawer during the brewing process.
• Never fill instant coffee into the bean container or ground coffee funnel; it can damage the brewing chamber.
• Never fill sugar coated coffee beans into the bean container.
• Never fill frozen beans into the bean container. If you store
beans in the freezer, let them thaw 3 to 4 hours before filling them into the bean container.
• Never fill anything other than coffee beans into the bean container (no chocolate, rice, nuts, spices, etc.)
• Never fill anything but fresh, cold clean water into the water container, except when decalcifying (chapter 12.3).
• Never use mineral or carbonated water. You can use tap water, spring water, distilled water and reverse osmosis water.
• Never repair or open the machine yourself. All repairs should be performed only by an authorized service center.
5.Please Do...
•Fill water tank with fresh, cold water only.
•Remove any foreign particles (small stones) from coffee beans.
•Let frozen beans thaw 3 to 4 hours before pouring them into bean container.
