INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have selected a quality Oster
®
Espresso and Cappuccino
Maker. This unique appliance has been designed to provide you with delicious
espresso, cappuccino and much more, quickly and conveniently.
Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through
finely ground coffee. An Espresso drink is described as rich, dark coffee. Popular
in Europe, it is a far richer and more full-bodied brew than regular American coffee,
because of its richness; Espresso is usually served in 30 mL (1 oz.) to 60 mL (2 oz.)
portions, in demitasse cups.
Espresso is used as a base for many other rich and delicious beverages such as
Cappuccinos and Lattes. Cappuccino is made with about one third espresso, one third
steamed milk, and one third frothed milk. Latte, on the other hand, is a combination of
espresso and steamed milk with a hint of foam on top, no froth is necessary.
Preparing espresso or an espresso-based beverage is different from brewing drip
coffee. The differences are in the coffee grounds and in the appliance used to
brew the coffee. Your Oster
®
Espresso and Cappuccino Maker operates using a
15 bar Italian pump system, which provides optimum flavor extraction and more
crema. Please carefully read and save this instruction manual before you begin to
use this appliance.
