BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Refer to Page 4 for the Diagram of Parts.
1.Wash all removable parts with hot water and a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.
2.Remove the pink cap from the end of the hose inside the reservoir.
3.Fill the Water Reservoir with water. Do not exceed MAX fill line.
4.Follow the steps on Page 6 for brewing espresso to rinse the inside of the machine. Use water only. Do not use coffee for the cleaning cycle.
5.Follow the Steps on Page 7 for steaming milk to clean the Frothing Arm. You should use water instead of milk for this cleaning process.
6.After you have brewed one cycle and steamed for approximately 45 seconds, empty the water reservoir, remove, rinse and dry all parts.
CAUTION: Allow unit to cool before removing parts.
YOUR ESPRESSO MAKER IS NOW READY TO BREW GREAT ESPRESSO AND CAPPUCCINO!
BREWING ESPRESSO
1.Make sure the On/Off switch (see Diagram on Page 4) is in the OFF position and the brew and steam switches are off.
2.Plug in your new MR. COFFEE® Espresso and Cappuccino Maker.
3.Remove the water reservoir and fill with fresh, cold water. Be sure to keep the water reservoir filled above the “min” water level marking printed on the reservoir.
4.Replace the water reservoir into the machine, making sure that it slides completely into place. When inserted properly, the end of the water reservoir will be even with the base. Make sure the end of the hose is down in the water.
5.Turn the On/Off Switch to the “On” position so that the On Light is illuminated.
6.While the water is heating, insert filter in filter holder.
7.Put grounds into filter cup using 1 scoop for one
8.Use the bottom of the scoop to press the coffee grounds so that they are flattened down and smoothed over. Gently remove any excess grounds from the rim of the filter holder.
9.Insert the filter holder into the machine. Make sure the thumb guard is flipped back and not resting on top of the filter. Insert filter holder approximately 45 degrees to the left, using the line on the Brew Head as a guide. When properly aligned, slide the filter handle to the right until the handle is in the locked position. The handle will be
in the “Lock” area and should feel snug. YOU DO NOT NEED TO OVERTIGHTEN.
10.Place a cup underneath the filter holder spouts. Espresso will brew out of both filter spouts, so use a cup that is wide enough to catch liquid from both spouts or brew into two cups placed right next to each other.
11.When the Brew Ready Indicator Light comes on, you may begin brewing espresso.
(Your machine will only take a few minutes to heat up enough water for brewing).
Press brew button on (brew position). Brew for approximately 30 seconds. You may adjust brewing time to taste. A shorter brew time will yield a stronger cup of espresso. The brew ready indicator light may go out while you are still brewing. This just means that the machine is heating more water.
12.Press brew button to turn off pump.
13.Remove cup from drip tray. Use caution when removing the filter holder as there can still be hot water in the filter. Flip the thumb guard over the filter and knock out the used grounds. Use caution as the filter and filter holder are very hot. Rinse out the filter and filter holder and dry all parts.
14.You can brew multiple cups of espresso one right after the other! Just make sure the water reservoir stays filled above the “min” level marking. Repeat Steps 5 – 13 above to brew multiple cups of espresso.
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
Cappuccino is espresso topped with steamed and frothed milk. Frothing milk for cappuccino takes practice. Do not be discouraged if it is not perfect the first time. The milk should be half steamed (bottom of pitcher) and half frothed (top of the pitcher). It may take a few times before you perfect this process.
For the best results, we recommend frothing milk in a separate pitcher and pouring the milk into your coffee. The milk and pitcher should be cold. Do not use a pitcher which has just been washed in warm water. Use skim or 2% milk.
We also recommend a stainless steel frothing pitcher and a specialty beverage thermometer, if you own one, for preparing the best froth and steamed milk.
1.The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso.Therefore, fill the water reservoir with cold water. Never use warm or hot water to fill the water reservoir.
2.Follow steps in “Brewing Espresso”.
3.Fill a small stainless steel pitcher 1/3 to 1/2 way with cold milk. We recommend using a MR. COFFEE® frothing pitcher (EFP1) or any other pitcher that holds about 10 - 12 ounces and is around 5 inches tall. The pitcher should be cold. Do not use a pitcher that has just been washed with warm water.
4.Make sure the Espresso Machine is turned on and that there is water in the water reservoir. The brew ready indicator light will go off when the machine is ready to steam milk.
5.Press the Steam Start/Stop Button. The steam ready light will come on when the unit is ready to froth milk. The brew ready light will stay on.
6.Place the steaming tube in the pitcher with milk. Hold the pitcher so that the steaming tube is submerged in milk and close to the bottom of the pitcher.
