3.2 DIFFERENT COFFEE DRINKS
Here are some guidelines for the most popular coffee drinks:
•Ristretto: 1/2 to 1 oz. of coffee. Sweeten to taste
•Espresso: 1 to 2 oz. coffee. Sweeten to taste
•Double Shot: 3 to 4 oz. of coffee. Sweeten to taste
•Crema Coffee: 5 to 8 oz. of coffee
•Cappuccino: Espresso plus 3 to 4 oz. of hot frothed milk
•Latte: Espresso plus
•Café Mocha: Add chocolate syrup to milk then steam and froth and add espresso.
Experiment with the size of your milk based drinks. For stronger coffee taste add more coffee, for more milk taste add more frothed milk.
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 should be processed differently
than medium brown beans: see chapter 7.

4.PLEASE, DON’T... (or you void your warranty protection):
• Never pull out the drawer during the brewing process. Only pull the drawer when the display instructs you or when the display shows READY.
• 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.
