How to make a good Espresso coffee | Mr. Coffee CUBIKA manual

How to make a good Espresso coffee:

1Follow the procedure described under “Preparation”.

2Select the correct filter basket (10 or 11) and insert it in the filter holder (9).

Use the small filter for 1 cup and the large filter for 2 cups of espresso.

Then insert the filter holder (9) into the brewing head (11) to warm-up

3Wait until the machine has reached the correct temperature with filter holder inserted (heating time of about 6 minutes).

Use this time to set table, prepare cups, coffee, milk, etc

4After the warm-up period, remove the warm filter-holder (9) from the brewing head and fill with correctly ground espresso coffee using the measuring spoon provided.

Place one level measure of coffee in basket for each cup of espresso. Do not overfill. Gently tamp down coffee with the tamper (17) provided. Do not compress too firmly.

5Clean any excess coffee from the rim of filter holder (9). Insert filter holder into brew head by holding handle approximately 45 degrees to the left as you face machine. When properly aligned,move handle firmly to the right to lock into position.

The handle should point to the front of the machine or slightly to the right.

6Place one or two espresso cups on the drip plate to line up with the spouts of the filter holder. Depress hot water/brew switch (2) to pos. “1”.

Espresso will start to flow into cups.

7When cups are 3/4 full, release brew switch to “0”.

The more water you allow to flow, the weaker the coffee. When properly made, the espresso will have a light brown foam “crema” floating on the top.

If not, refer to “In the event of faulty function”.

8 Remove cups and serve.

ENGLISH

9To make more espresso, carefully and slowly remove the filter holder by moving handle to the left. Be careful as hot water will be on top of the coffee grinds in the holder. Some water will continue to drip from brewing head as filter holder is removed. That is normal and due to the pump pressure in the system.

Knock out used coffee grinds from filter. For more espresso repeat steps 4 to 8 above

OPTIONAL

“Perfect cream” device (13)

For a better operation of the “perfect cream” disk, fully insert the metal washer into its seat.

We recommend that the “Perfect cream” device be cleaned on a daily basis, before use, in order to prevent any blockage of the delivery holes.

A pin may be used to clean out the hole.

Even if the type of coffee grinding is not correct the use of the “Perfect cream” device will pro- duce the typical creamy froth of an espresso coffee.

N.B.: Only use the “perfect cream device with

alarge 2-cup filter.

Preparing cappuccino:

When preparing to make a cappuccino, have all of the ingredients at hand as well as a frothing pitcher (or mug) halffilled with skimmed or low-fat milk and cups that are larger (6 oz.) than those used for espresso.

Frothing Milk:

The higher the fat content in the milk the denser the froth will be. The steam pipe (8) will give you all the froth required but don’t let milk come to a boil.

It may require two or three attempts to “become an expert” but you will be successful at frothing milk if you give it a chance. Swivel the steam pipe nozzle slightly outward so that you can get the frothing pitcher under the nozzle without knocking the base of the machine.

1Make espresso (in a large cups) as described above
