7. Preparing Espresso
a) Fill the water container (chapter 3), pre-warm the parts
(chapter 5) and fill and insert the Porta Filter (chapter 6).
b) Place one or two espresso cups underneath the porta filter.
c) When the green ready light illuminates, turn the control
dial to the right to the coffee-delivery position.
d) When the desired amount of espresso is brewed, stop the
flow by turning the control dial to the center position 0.
Note:
It is normal for the red heating light to illuminate during
brewing indicating the heater is warming the water as it flows
through.
e) Remove the cups and enjoy.
f) Remove the porta filter from the appliance.
g) Push the filter lock forward and hold to lock in the sieve.
h) Turn the porta filter upside down and tap out the used
coffee grounds.
i) Rinse sieve under warm water and make sure the holes are
free of coffee deposits.
j) When the green ready light illuminates, the machine is ready
to make the next espresso.
8. Preparing Cappuccino
Cappuccino is the combination of one or two shots of espresso
with an equal or larger amount of hot milk and milk froth (for
Latte see chapter 10).
Always start with cold milk. Skim or Fat-free milk will produce
the most froth and will provide a stronger espresso taste. 1% and
2% milk will produce less froth, and whole milk will produce less
than half the amount of froth of skim milk.
a) Fill a stainless steel pitcher with 6 to 8 oz. of milk, this will
provide enough froth for two to three cups of cappuccino.
Make sure that there is enough space left in the pitcher for the
milk and milk froth to expand.
b) First prepare your espresso (see chapter 8), but use larger,
pre-heated cappuccino cups instead of espresso cups.
c) Set the function switch to the Steam position. The red
heating light illuminates as the appliance is heated to
steam temperature.
d) Insert and slide the frothing
sleeve (Fig. 1, k) onto the
steam tube (Fig. 1, j) until it
makes contact. The frothing
sleeve must click into the groove.
e) Turn the frothing sleeve as far
as possible to the right to
lock it in place.
f) The appliance is ready to
deliver steam when the green
ready light illuminates.
