IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

3

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Read all instructions.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.

• To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in water

or other liquid.

• Never allow the appliance to be used by children.

• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before fitting or taking off parts, and

before cleaning the appliance.

• Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any

manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

• The use of accessory attachments or spare parts not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire,

electrical shock or personal injury.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated oven.

• Plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.

• Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use. This appliance is to be utilized for domestic use only.

Any other use is to be considered improper and therefore, dangerous.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only!

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS • THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

• A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised

in their use.

• If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating

of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3 - wire, grounding type cord, the extension should be a

GROUNDING TYPE 3 – WIRE CORD .

The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the

counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

• Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than

the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert

the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to

replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

CAREFULLY READ AND KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

• This machine is designed to “make espresso coffee” and “hot drinks”. Be careful to avoid scalding from the water

and steam jets or by using the machine incorrectly.

• This appliance is for household use only. All other use is considered improper and consequently dangerous.

Barista Tips for Café Quality Espresso & Cappuccino at Home. Simply.

How to brew the Perfect CAPPUCCINO

Frothing the Milk

Fill a milk pitcher 1/3 of the way (a stainless steel pitcher will give you the best results) with milk.

Submerge the frothing wand in the milk and turn the machine to steam function. Simply hold the pitcher in place and the wand will create rich, frothy cappuccino milk without moving the pitcher.

As a guide, when the pitcher begins to get too hot to hold, that’s a good sign that your milk has reached the right temperature.

Keep in mind, the authentic cappuccino temperature is lower than than the temperature of the milk drinks usually served at coffee shops. This is to preserve the nutritious elements of milk and enhance the taste of the drink.

Tips for the Perfect Froth

While you can use any type of milk with your machine, traditional cow’s milk is recommended for the best results. The fat content will help determine final resulting foam. Whatever milk you choose, keep it cold until it’s time to steam.

How to brew the Perfect ESPRESSO

The Perfect Grind

It is best to grind just before you brew for freshness and the most flavor, as once the bean is ground it begins to lose its best flavor quickly. A burr grinder gives you the most even grind which leads to the most uniform espresso extraction, and best experience. Cleaning your grinder and machine regularly will help ensure you’re always getting the best taste and performance. If your espresso is flowing too quickly and you aren’t getting the rich crema, your grind may be too fine. If your espresso is coming out too slowly, your grind may be too coarse.

Typically the ideal espresso grind should be the same consistency as a fine sand.

The Perfect Tamping

Use 1 scoop of grinds per espresso. 1 shot =1 scoop , 2 shots = 2 scoops .

Make sure you never overfill your filter.

Distribute the grounds evenly around the basket. Lay the filter basket on a flat surface, like a table, and tamp with an even, medium amount of pressure.

The Perfect Brew

If you prefer a stronger espresso, you can stop the shot sooner for a more concentrated brew.

If you tend to like your brew more mild, you can let your shot run a little longer.

Espresso Temperature

The perfect temperature of espresso is lower than the typical filter coffee. Keeping up with the maintenance and descaling of your machine will help ensure that you’re consistently brewing your espresso at the right temperature.

BEANS: Choosing and Storing your espresso beans

Types of Beans

There are seemingly dozens of varieties of coffee beans to choose from, but really, there are just

2 categories to consider. These can be found alone or sometimes as a blend.

TYPE TASTE

Arabica Sweet

Robusta Strong

CAFFINE

Less Caffeine

QUALITIES

More Acidity

More Caffeine Creamier

FLAVORS

Aromatic, Fruit,

Berries

Nutty, Chocolatey

Another characteristic of your coffee bean is the roast. While typically an espresso is made with a medium to dark roast, you can use any to suit your preference.

ROAST

Light

Medium

Medium – Dark

Dark Roast

COLOR

Light Brown

Medium Brown

Rich, Dark Color

Shiny, Black

FLAVOR

Mild

Stronger

Bittersweet

Pronounced Bitterness

Tip: The highest quality, whole bean coffee, is sold in flexible, laminated packages, with a small one way valve located on the package. This valve is where the air is removed from the package, giving the bag an irregular surface. This container preserves the beans the best and the longest, up to 2 years (if unopened).

Whatever your choice, remember, Espresso is a drink, not a roasting level or type of bean.

You can make an espresso with any type of coffee bean.

How to Store

It’s best to keep your coffee, either whole bean or already ground, in an airtight container in a cabinet or dark cool area. Never freeze your coffee. It’s important to keep you coffee away from air, moisture, heat and light to preserve it’s freshness.
