AUTHENTIC ESPRESSO
Espresso is a far richer and aromatic brew than regular coffee. It is typically enjoyed in smaller quanti-
ties because of its richness, and for that reason, espresso is usually served in small (1.5 - 2 oz) cups.
Your appliance when properly used will produce espresso that is deep, dark and delicious. Just follow
the instructions and use fresh, well-roasted, pre-ground coffee.
Preparing espresso or cappuccino is different from brewing regular drip coffee. One main difference is
that the water will come to a boil and will then be forced through the ground coffee. This means that an
espresso machine works under pressure and needs special attention.
CAUTION – PRESSURE
Never open boiler cap (i) or remove filter holder (c) while your appliance is turned «on» or as
long as there is pressure in the boiler container.
To check for pressure:
I
Turn the selector knob (b) to the "Off" position.
I
Turn the selector knob to the steam position (b3). If steam comes out of the nozzle, then the boiler
chamber is still under pressure. Close steam knob and proceed with instructions listed below.
I
Take a pitcher filled with cold water and hold it underneath the steam nozzle with nozzle inserted into
the pitcher. Then turn the selector knob to the steam position (b3). Leave steam release knob open
until no more steam comes out of nozzle. When finished turn the selector knob (b) to the "Off" posi-
tion.
I
Now you can remove the boiler cap and the filter holder.
CAUTION – HOT
Do not touch boiler cap (i) during operation. Before removing boiler cap turn off machine,
let it cool down for at least 2 or 3 minutes. Relieve pressure. (See CAUTION-PRESSURE)
