Cleaning Porta Filter and Sieve After Each USE

base for a cappuccino, we recom- mend frothing the milk first then brew- ing the espresso, (see chapter 17 and 18 "Making Cappuccino" / "Multiple Cappuccinos").

10. CLEANING PORTA FILTER AND SIEVE AFTER EACH USE

Before making the next espresso: a. Remove porta filter by turning to the left toward "INSERT"-

position.

b. Tilt thumb guard forward until top is

over sieve and dump used coffee grinds into garbage (fig. 18 ). If you fail to place thumb guard over sieve it will fall into the garbage.

c. Remove sieve from porta filter and rinse with warm water to remove any used coffee grinds. Hold sieve up to light to check if the small holes are clean.

d. Rinse porta filter with warm water.

11.CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIEVE Your EspressoPro comes with 3 differ- ent sieves. Two "regular" sieves and one "pod" sieve (see Chapter 12, "Using Pre-Packed Coffee Pods"). The small (one cup) sieve holds ap- proximately 7 grams of coffee. This is normally enough to make one espresso measuring 1 1/2 ounces or up to a 6-ounce cup of "crema" coffee. The large (two cup) sieve holds ap- proximately 15 grams of coffee and will produce an extra strong single espresso, two espressos, or up to a 12-ounce cup of "crema" coffee. Coffee is always dispersed from both spouts on the porta filter. When mak- ing one cup, be sure your cup is cen- tered underneath both spouts. (fig.

11). When making two espressos or two cups of coffee, be sure to place two cups underneath the porta filter (fig. 10).

12.USING PRE-PACKED COFFEE PODS

The special "pod" sieve allows you to use pre-packed coffee pods (fig. 9). (Please check with your local coffee stores or check our website: www.capresso.com under the EspressoPRO machine for more infor- mation.) Please be sure to use the 45mm diameter pods with your EspressoPRO. (These are most commonly available.) Other sizes do not work with the EspressoPRO. ATTENTION: Some pods have a small tab that sticks out. Be sure to fold the tab under before inserting the pod into the pod sieve. (Failure to do so will re- sult in water spilling out, etc.)

If you are using illy coffee pods, you must cut around the outer rim of the pod leaving about 3/8 of an inch around the coffee. Before cutting check to see which sides goes face down. Sides are marked. Be sure to place the sieve with the proper side down.

**Please be aware, brewing with coffee pods will not produce as much crema as brewing with ground coffee.**

One coffee pod normally yields one serving. If you are making a double shot you must use two pods. DO NOT

PLACE 2 PODS IN SIEVE AT THE SAME TIME: to brew a double shot, you must brew with one pod at a time, into the same cup.

13.ASSEMBLING THE frothXpress SYSTEM (fig. 1d).

IMPORTANT – in order to siphon milk through the frothXpress system all parts must be firmly connected. If the parts are loose, outside air may enter into the attachment making it impossible to siphon the milk.

a. Attach connector into large hole of frothing sleeve. (parts V and W)

b. Insert the knob into the joint and make certain it snaps into place firmly. (parts X and Y)
