.
1. Make sure the drip grid is in place on the drip tray.
2. Place the cover on the carafe so the lid opening faces the spout, and set it on the
drip tray. Make sure the brew basket spout is nestled inside the center opening of
the carafe lid.
3. Make sure the power switch is in the
Off
position.
4. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and turn the power switch on, which
begins the brewing process. The light will illuminate to let you know that the
machine is on.
5. Espresso will begin to flow into the carafe in about 3 – 5 minutes.
6. When the espresso stops flowing into the carafe, turn the power switch to the Off
position. Unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool. Do not remove
reservoir cap or brew basket until the pressure in the machine has been released.
Follow procedures in section marked
CauTIOn: Pressure
on Page 3.
CAUTION:
Do not remove reservoir cap or brew basket at any time while the
appliance is under pressure or until the appliance has cooled down. Follow the
procedures marked
CauTIOn: Pressure
on Page 3 to relieve the pressure before
removing the reservoir cap or brew basket.
7. After the machine has cooled down and all pressure has been relieved, remove the
brew basket. Using the filter retainer clip to secure the filter in the brew basket, turn
the brew basket upside down to empty. Rinse the filter and basket with water.
CAUTION:
The metal parts of the brew basket might still be very hot. Make sure to
use the filter retainer clip when discarding the grounds. Cool these parts by running
under cold water.
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 pitcher). It
may take a few times before you perfect this process.
For best results, we recommend frothing the 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. We also recommend a stainless steel
frothing pitcher and a 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 glass
carafe with cold water to the designated marking for the desired number of
servings. Never use warm or hot water to fill the water reservoir. (See Chart from
“HOW TO BREW ESPRESSO” on Page 7)
2. Follow steps 1 – 5 in “BREWING ESPRESSO” above.
3. Fill a small stainless steel or ceramic pitcher 1/3 full with cold milk and set next to
machine. Skim or 2% milk will be the easiest to froth. Ultimately, you will brew your
espresso and froth the milk afterwards. You will need to be sure to stop brewing
espresso once it reaches your desired cup marking on the carafe. This way, you will
have enough steam to froth your milk afterwards.
4. If making 2 servings, stop brewing espresso at the 1-cup mark. If making 4 servings,
stop brewing espresso at the 3-cup mark. Turn the frothing control knob to the
Open
position to start the frothing process.
5. For your convenience and storage, this appliance has a swinging frothing aid. To use
the frother, simply swing the aid away or out of the machine. You are now ready
to froth and steam your milk. Hold the pitcher under the frothing tube so that the
frothing aid is slightly immersed in the milk. Turn the power switch slowly to the
position. Gently move the pitcher in a circular motion around the steam nozzle for
about 45 seconds.
reMeMBer:
The milk and the pitcher should be cold prior to
frothing.
6. When the milk has doubled in volume, or, if you are using a beverage thermometer,
when the milk has reached 100°F insert the frothing aid deeper into the milk to
further heat the milk. The temperature of the milk, when finished, should be 140°F -
145°F. Do not exceed 150°F. To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not let the frothing
aid go above the surface of the milk. After frothing is completed, turn the control
knob back to the
Closed
position before removing the pitcher from the frothing aid
and turning the power switch Off.
nOTe:
After turning knob to Off, there still may
be some espresso coming out.
7. You are now ready to make cappuccino.
reMeMBer:
It is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed
milk and 1/3 frothed milk. Pour the espresso into a cup which has the capacity of
at least 5 ounces. Then add the steamed milk to the espresso and spoon on the
frothed milk.
8. Follow the instructions on Page 3 under section marked “CAUTION: PRESSURE”
to flush out any residual milk from the frothing aid. (Milk can clog the frother and
prevent it from working in the future.) When finished using and cleaning the frother,
swing it back into the unit.
9. Ensure power is off and unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool.
do
not remove the reservoir cap or brew basket until the pressure in the machine has
been released.
