Introduction

Congratulalionsl You are the owner of a Defeilsu by Mr. Coffee model

ECMPl pump espresso/cappuccino maker. This unique appliance has been designed to provide you with delicious restaurant quality espresso/cappuccino quickly and conveniently.

Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewing in which hot waler is forced through finely ground 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 1 -l/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 drip coffee. To ensure your safely and the long fife of this appliance, please read all instructions, cautions, notes, and attentions.

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.

We recommend that you start with whole beans, and grind just before use.

Coffee beans stored in an air tight container will keep up to 4 weeks before they begin to lose their flavor.

The Grind

This is a vital step in the espresso making process and takes practice. The coffee must be ground fine, but not too fine.

l

The correct grind should look gritty, like salt or sand.

l

If the grind is too fine, the water wiii not flow through the coffee even under pressure. This grind looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers.

l if the grind is too coarse‘, the water flows through the coffee too fast, preventing a full flavored extraction.

Be sure to use a quality grinder or mill for uniform consistency in your espresso grind. Oval shaped coffee mills are not recommended because the grind is not consistent. We recommend using the D&i/s”

Burr Mill.

“How to

Make Cappuccino".

N O T E :

Do

not remove the filter holder at any time during the brewing process. Do not let the pump run with an empty water container. This can damage the pump permanently.

How to Make Cappuccino

Cappuccino is 1/3 espresso tapped with 1/3 steamed and 1/3 frothed milk.

Therefore, to make cappuccino, first froth and steam the milk. Then proceed with espresso.

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 with warm water.

CAUTION: The steam released from the frothing tube is HOT. Be sure it is aimed into a container and the tip Is submerged into the liquid.

1.

To

generate

steam, first switch the machine ON with the main ON/OFF switch and wait until operating temperature has been reached. The brew ready light must go

out.

2.

Then immerse the frothing tube into the milk.

Start generating steal,. by turning the steam selector control knob upwards. A 15-30 second delay may occur.

Note:A little water will first escape from the frothing tube. This will not harm the frothed milk In any way.

FIGUR

Immerse the frothing tube only about half way into the liquid, so that the flow of air Is not hlndered.

The frothing tube should not be allowed to touch the base of the container as this mlght restrict the

5.

outflow of steam. Frothed milk will resemble a whlpped cream texture. Sea flgun 4.

To stop the flow of steam, turn the steam control knob downward back to the OFF position.

Afterwards, turn the frothing tube as far as it will go to the left so that the last few drops of liquid can fall into the drip grate.

Note: Frothing aid may shut off when you prepare froth for two cups of capcappuccino. Just restart the machine by turning on the on/off switch.

After steaming, the following steps are necessary:

1.

Put the filter holder and filter basket (but without coffee) In the brew head

Place an empty cup or frothing pitcher under the filter holder.

Turn the ON/OFF swith ON, until approximately 3 ounces of water flows

Remove filter holder. Make sure the steam selector control knob is in the OFF position.

Cleaning Your Espresso/Cappuccino

Maker

Remove filter holder

First unplug the appliance power cord.

CAUTION: The metal parts of the filter holder might still be very hot.

Also there may be hot water floating on the top of the filter basket.

Remove the filer holder by rotating it to the left and taking it out of the brew head.

If you are not going to use the machine again for some time, do not re-insert the filter holder; this will lengthen the service life of the filter seal.

Cleaning the filter and filter holder

Knock the used espresso ground coffee out of the filter, holding the filter firmly to the filter holder by the filter retainer clip. Then clean the filter and the filter basket under running water. Do not place your filter holder or filter basket in the dishwasher.

Remove the remaining water from the fresh water reservoir.

Cleaning frothing tube

Clean the frothing nozzle, particularly after frothing milk. with a damp cloth.

If necessary. the frothing nozzle can be unscrewed in a counter-clockwise direction u s e the end of the measuring spoon and then

The nozzle must be screwed on again in a clockwise direction. Tighten using reasonable force with the end of the measuring spoon provided.

Cleaning the drip grate and drlp tray

The drip grate can be taken out for cleaning very easily with the aid of the finger-shaped depression at the rear left-hand edge of the drip tray. The drip tray can be

taken

out for cleaning by simply lifting it forward out of machine base. The drip grate and drip tray should be washed by hand.

Cleaning the brew head

After it has been in use for some time, the brew head should be cleaned with a damp cloth. If the brewing sieve (the underside of the brew head) Is particularly dirty it can be unscrewed from the brew head with the aid of a coin and cleaned under running water.

Switch machine off

If the machine will not be used for some time it should be steamed out, so that fresh water-is always available next time it is used. Place a container half-full of water under the frothing tube and proceed as follows: Open the steam selector control knob and let the steam out. If no more steam comes out, close the steam selector control knob again. To switch the appliance off, flip the ON/OFF switch downward. The brew ready light goes out.
