IN T R O D U C T I O N

Congratulations! You are the owner of a MR. COFFEE® ECM10 Steam Espresso/Cappuccino Maker. This unique appliance has been designed to provide you with delicious espresso/cappuccino quickly and conveniently.

Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through finely ground coffee. Popular in Europe, it is a far richer and more full-bodied brew than regular American coffee. Because of its richness, espresso is usually served in 1-1/2 to 2 oz. portions, in demitasse cups.

Most espresso drinkers outside of Europe prefer cappuccino, a drink made with about one third espresso, one third steamed milk, and one third frothed milk. Preparing espresso or cappuccino is very different from brewing regular drip coffee in that this appliance operates under pressure

and requires special attention.

Please read ALL of the instructions, cautions, notes and attentions in this Instruction Manual carefully before you begin to use this appliance. Proper care and maintenance will ensure the long life of the MR. COFFEE® Steam Espresso/Cappuccino Maker and its trouble-free operation. Save these Instructions and refer to them often for cleaning and care tips.
