5. Slowly remove the portafilter.
WHAT YOU NEED ON HAND:
• Stainless steel frothing pitcher or ceramic mug for frothing.
(The glass carafe is not suitable for frothing.)
• Coffee should be ground to a fine espresso grind that resembles
salt grains. Use a quality grinder or burr mill, such as a Mr. Coffee
burr mill.
• Milk for making cappuccinos or lattes.
• For best espresso drinks, we recommened using filtered
or bottled water.
CLEAN YOUR MACHINE!
Note: portafilter is not dishwasher safe, hand wash only.
1. Wash the glass carafe, glass carafe lid, filter and portafilter with
mild detergent and a soft sponge or cloth.
2. Remove the water reservoir cap.
3. Fill glass carafe with filtered water to the 4 cup mark and pour into
water reservoir.
4. Screw cap back onto the water reservoir.
5. Insert portafilter into the machine with no coffee from left to right.
This can be tricky the first time you try, so don't worry. The best
way to learn is to look at the shape of the top of the portafilter. It
can be inserted by placing it from the left and locking it into the
right. This may require force but with time this will get easier. The
handle should be pointing directly at you when standing in front of
the machine.
6. Place glass carafe with lid under the portafilter.
7. Turn the knob on the left side of the machine to "Brew". Keep the
knob on "Brew" until there is no longer water exiting the portafilter.
8. Be sure to turn the knob to the "Off" position and unplug the appliance.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the power cord, power plug or
coffeemaker in water or in any other liquid. Do not remove the water
reservoir cap or portafilter until you release pressure in the unit.
