Brewing Espresso
1.Before filling the Water Tank, make sure the Power Switch is in the “O” (OFF) position and the unit is unplugged from the electrical out- let.
2.Make sure that the Steam Control Knob is turned all the way clock- wise so no steam escapes the Frother.
3.Remove the Boiler Cap by turning it counterclock- wise while lifting.
4.To fill the water tank, use the Carafe and pour fresh cool water into the Water Tank Opening until the water level reaches the Maximum Fill Tab (see FIGURE 1). DO NOT OVERFILL.
5.Replace the Boiler Cap by aligning the cap arrow with the “ 
” (OPEN) symbol; then turn the Boiler Cap clockwise until the cap arrow reaches the “ 
” (CLOSE) symbol (see FIGURE 2).
NOTE: Be sure to allow the Boiler Cap to drop into place midway between the “ 
” (OPEN) and “ 
” (CLOSE) symbols.

6.Add the desired amount of espresso grounds into
the Filter Basket using the Measuring Scoop provided. Refer to the markings on the inside of the Filter Basket for the correct levels to make 2 or 4 demitasse cups of espresso.
Once the espresso grounds are filled to the desired marking, use the Tamper side of the Measuring Scoop to lightly tamp the grounds then remove any excess grounds from the edge of the Filter Basket.
DO NOT add more espresso grounds to the Filter Basket after tamping.
IMPORTANT: Only use MEDIUM to FINE espresso grounds.
