Espresso/Cappucclno at Home”.  
Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced  
through finely ground coffee. Popular In Europ  
e
It is a far richer and more  
full-bodied brew than American regular coff ee. Because of its richness,  
espresso Is usually served in l-1/2 to 2 oz. portions, in demitasse cups.  
Most espresso drinkers outside of Europe prefer cappuccino, a drink made  
of about one third espresso, one third hot milk, and one third foam.  
Preparing espresso or Cappuccino is very different from brewing regular dripal  
coffee in that this machine operates under pressureand requires speci  
life of this appliance, please  
attention. To ensure your safety and the long

The coffee should be a freshly ground, dark roasted variety. You may want  
to try a French or Italian roast. Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavor for  
7-8 days, provided it is stored in an air tight container in a cool, dark area  
Do not store in refrigerator or freezer.  
Whole beans are recommended, to be ground just before use. Coffee beans  
stored in an air tight container will keep up to 4 weeks before they begin to  
lose their flavor.

If the grind is too coarse, the water ftows through the coffee too fast,  
preventing a full flavored extraction.

For best results, we recommend frothing the milk in

pouring the milk into your coffee.  
The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso. Therefore,  
pour in sufficient water for the requiredquantity of espresso, plus enoug  
water for the production of steam. If you only want to produce steam,

When the espresso reaches the steaming mark  
in the glass carafe, rotate the selector control knob  
counter clockwise, or away from you. At that time the  
boiler has generated enough pressure and steam to start  
frothing the milk. Frothing the milk before finishing the  
espresso prevents you from running out of steam. This can happen if  
you froth towards the end of the brewing process. Do not be alarmed If  
steam escapes.  
5. Hold the pitcher below the frothing tube. Gently move the pitcher In
