Making Espresso Coffee

Before making your first carafe of espresso, we suggest that you let the water brew through the machine two times without coffee, following the instructions. This will thoroughly clean the unit.

1.Make sure the function knob is in the “OFF” position. Plug the espresso/cappuccino maker into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

2.Remove the safety lid by turning it counter-clockwise and remove from the appliance.

3.For espresso fill carafe to two or four cups of cold water, using the markings on the carafe for reference. For cappuccino, fill the

carafe to for 2 cups or to the bottom of the metal band for 4 cups. Pour water into the water reservoir.

4.Close the safety lid tightly by turning clockwise.

5.Remove the filter basket and holder from the espresso/cappucci- no maker by turning clockwise. With the measuring spoon, measure espresso coffee and place into the filter basket. (Do not compress/tap the coffee.)

NOTE: Be sure to use coffee which is MEDIUM TO FINE GROUND.

6.Place the filter basket into the filter holder.

7.Pull back the tab and insert the filter holder into the brewing head

lock aligning the arrow on the filter holder with the on the machine. Push the filter holder upward so it will be aligned with the matching slots. Turn handle counter-clockwise until securely locked. Place the cover on the carafe and return the carafe to the drip plate. Align hole in lid under filter.

8.Switch the function knob to “BREW.”

9.After approximately four minutes, espresso coffee will flow into the carafe.

NOTE: For cappuccino, refer immediately to the Making Cappuccino section.

10.Do not open the safety lid or remove the filter holder during the brewing process – scalding may occur.

11.When the coffee has stopped flowing into the carafe, turn the function knob to the “OFF” position.

12.BEFORE REMOVING THE FILTER HOLDER OR THE SAFETY

LID, TURN THE FUNCTION KNOB TO AND WAIT UNTIL NO FURTHER STEAM EMERGES FROM THE STEAM JET. Then turn the function knob back to the “OFF” position.
