HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO, CAPPUCCINO OR LATTE
CAUTION: Make sure filer holder is in locked position before use. Do not remove
water reservoir cap or filter holder until you release the pressure in the unit.
WATER PREPERATION:
1. Remove the water reservoir cap.
• For 2 or 4 servings of espresso, fill the stainless steel carafe with water to the
appropriate mark and pour into water reservoir.
• If making a cappuccino or latte, fill stainless steel carafe with water up to the steam
mark
and pour it into the reservoir.
2. Screw cap back onto water reservoir.
ESPRESSO PREPERATION:
1. Scoop your finely ground espresso into the filter.
• For 2 servings of espresso, fill filter to the 2 cup line located inside the filter.
• For 4 servings of espresso, fill filter to the 4 cup line located inside the filter.
2. Lightly tamp/press down the espresso in the filter by
pushing down with the end of the measuring scoop/tamper.
(If tamped too much, the water will not go through the espresso.)
3. Insert the filter holder into machine. The handle should be aligned
with the locked marking on the front of the machine.

BREW & FROTH:
Note: If making a cappuccino or a latte, follow steps 1-8.
If you are making an espresso, follow steps 1, 2, 7, 8!
1. Place the stainless steel carafe with lid onto the drip tray and under
the filter holder. Make sure the lid opening is aligned with the pour
spout of the stainless steel carafe.
2. Plug in the machine and turn knob on the right side of the machine
to the "Brew" icon.
3. Pour in your desired amount of cold milk into a stainless steel frothing pitcher (or
ceramic mug), allowing enough room for expansion of the foam (approximately 1/3 or
1/2 below the top).

*Frothing texture is highly dependent upon the milk type used. 2% is recommended;
whole milk creates finer bubbles while skim milk creates larger bubbles.
4. Once the coffee begins to brew into the stainless steel
carafe, interrupt the brewing process by turning the knob to
PAUSE, place your stainless steel frothing pitcher so that the
frothing wand is submerged about 1/2 -1" into the milk.
5. Turn the knob to "Steam". This may take a few seconds to
heat up before bubbling. You should hear the steam
coming out.
If it is silent, it may mean you are out of water and no
steam is coming out. If this happens, remove the cup from
the frothing tube.
When you hear steam coming out, move the pitcher in a
circular motion until desired amount of froth is reached. *It
takes about 2 minutes to froth 4 oz. of milk to 165˚F heat.
6. Before removing the frothing pitcher from underneath the
frothing tube, turn the knob back into the "Brew" position
to complete the brewing process.
7. When the espresso finishes brewing, turn the knob to the
"Off" position and unplug the machine.
8. Follow "how to release pressure before removing the
water reservoir cap and the filter holder" on page 7.
