Before Using For The First Time

Before brewing your first cup of espresso coffee, we suggest you pre-clean the machine. Place the Espresso Maker on a level surface, situated within close proximity to a sink to discard water.

1. Make sure the Espresso Maker is unplugged and the Selector Dial is in the "O" OFF ? position. Remove the Lid. Use the Water Reservoir's back handle to lift it up and off the unit.
2. Fill the Water Reservoir to the MAX mark. Replace Water Reservoir in its original position on the back of the unit by sliding the Reservoir's locking clips down behind the Reservoir Locking Tab (see Figure 3), and connecting the Valve at the bottom of the Water Reservoir with the hole in the Base of the unit. Make sure it fits securely into place. Replace the Lid.
3. Diagram illustrating the water reservoir assembly, showing the reservoir, lid, locking clips, valve, and base connection.
4. Place an empty (do not add coffee) 2-Cup Filter Basket into the Filter Basket Holder. Insert and lock into the Espresso Maker following the detailed description in the section: INSERTING/REMOVING THE FILTER BASKET HOLDER.
5. Place a container which is large enough to cover both coffee outlets under the Filter Basket Holder. A short loaf pan works well.
6. Plug the unit into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
7. Turn the Selector Dial to / OK ▶️. Only the Heater Light ♨️ will illuminate. Water will begin to flow through the Filter Basket Holder. Empty the container as necessary; allow the water to remain flowing into the Drip Tray as you empty the container.
8. When all of the water has flowed through the machine, turn the Selector Dial to "O" OFF ? position, empty the container and the Removable Drip Tray. You are now ready to brew a delicious cup of fresh espresso coffee.

NOTE: Never fill the Water Reservoir past the MAX mark. Never operate the appliance without water in the Reservoir. Always refill the Water Reservoir when the water level falls below the MIN mark.

NOTE: Always use fresh, cold water for brewing. In areas with hard water or where water contains a high mineral content, use cold filtered water for optimal coffee taste.

NOTE: Place espresso cups on top of the Warming Plate to pre-heat.

Brewing Espresso

Preheating The Espresso Maker

To ensure your espresso coffee is dispensed at the proper temperature, it is essential that the machine be preheated.

5. Rotate the Handle to the right until it is under the LOCK icon.

IMPORTANT: The Filter Basket Holder will fit snugly into your machine. When properly installed, it will be flat against the machine; the Handle should be perfectly level and centered at the front of the Espresso Maker.

CAUTION: To avoid burns and spills of boiling water, make sure the Filter Basket is properly fitted into the Filter Basket Holder and the loaded Filter Basket Holder is properly inserted into the Espresso Maker.

5. Preheat according to PREHEATING THE ESPRESSO MAKER section of these Use & Care Instructions.

6. Place one or two espresso cups under the spouts in the underside of the Filter Basket Holder. If using one cup, it should be under both spouts. Two cups should be under one spout each.

7. The / OK Brew Light ▶️ will be illuminated to signal the Espresso Maker is ready to brew. Turn the Selector Dial to / OK ▶️. Rich espresso will begin to flow into the cup(s).

CAUTION: Never operate the Espresso Maker without water in the Water Reservoir. Be sure to add water to the Water Reservoir if the water level falls below the MIN mark; do not add water past the MAX water level mark.

8. When the espresso cup(s) are filled to the desired level, STOP the flow by turning the Selector Dial to "O" OFF ?.

9. After brewing, grip the Pressure Reducer Lever against the Filter Basket Holder Handle for at least 5 seconds to avoid the danger of accidental pressure release.

Diagram showing how to remove used coffee grounds from the filter basket.

CAUTION: The Filter Basket and Filter Basket Holder are hot after brewing. Allow to cool thoroughly before touching.

12. To brew double espresso, following the steps described previously, refill the Filter Basket with either fresh ground coffee or a fresh E.S.E. coffee pod. Insert the Filter Basket into the machine and brew the second shot of espresso into the cup(s).

13. Wash the Filter Basket and Filter Basket Holder in warm soapy water; rinse thoroughly and dry after each use.

Preparing Cappuccino

In Italy, cappuccino is usually 1 part espresso to 2 parts milk plus froth. Americans love to add cinnamon, sugar, shaved chocolate, nutmeg and/or various liquors to taste.

NOTE: When preparing 1 or 2 cups of cappuccino, it is recommended that you place the cups of finished espresso on top of the Warming Plate with a cloth or saucer covering the cups. This will help to keep the espresso hot.

NOTE: The best frothed milk is obtained when fresh, cold skim milk is used. When frothing milk, the volume of the milk will double.

NOTE: When preparing cappuccino, use a cappuccino cup with a capacity of at least 5 ounces. Fill the cup half-full with espresso.

1. Make sure the Steam Outer Tube is properly attached and locked onto the Steam Inner Tube before beginning to froth the milk.
2. Before steaming, make sure the Steam Release Knob is in the OFF (-) ➖ position.
3. Fill a stainless steel frothing pitcher 1/3 to 1/2 full with fresh, cold milk and set aside.
4. Preheat according to PREHEATING THE ESPRESSO MAKER section of these Use & Care Instructions.
5. The / OK Brew Light ▶️ will be illuminated to signal the Espresso Maker is ready to froth milk. Turn the Selector Dial to / Steam ?. The Steam Light will illuminate.
6. REMINDER: Before frothing, make sure the tip of the Steam Nozzle is just under the surface of the milk. Otherwise, splattering may occur.
7. Hold the pitcher by the handle and bring up to the Steam Nozzle. Insert the tip of the Nozzle just under the surface of the milk. Turn the Steam Release Knob gradually counter-clockwise; from the minimum steam ➖ to the maximum steam ➕ position, moving the pitcher in a slightly circular motion to froth the milk.

Diagram of the steam nozzle, detailing the steam inner tube and steam outer tube.

Diagrams indicating steam settings: Minimum Steam (➖) and Maximum Steam (➕).

7. After frothing, turn the Steam Release Knob clockwise to the minimum (-) ➖ position. WAIT UNTIL NO FURTHER STEAM EMERGES FROM THE STEAM NOZZLE. This will allow any extra steam to be released. After all of the steam is safely released, turn the Selector Dial to "O" OFF ?.

8. The froth will not readily pour from the container, since it separates from the heated milk. The top half will be frothed, the bottom half will be milk. Pour in an equal amount of warm milk into the cup of espresso. Spoon the frothed milk onto the top.

9. Remove the Filter Basket Holder from the Espresso Maker; grasp the Filter Basket Holder Handle firmly and turn clockwise until the Handle faces the left UNLOCKED position. The Filter Basket Holder will drop down and out of the unit. Empty the Filter Basket; flip the Basket Holder Clip up and over the rim of the Filter Basket to hold it in place with your thumb; knock out the used coffee (see Figure 9). Place used E.S.E. pod into a waste receptacle.

Diagram showing the removal of the filter basket holder and the process of knocking out used coffee.

CAUTION: The Filter Basket and Filter Basket Holder are hot after brewing. Allow to cool thoroughly before touching.

10. Unplug the Espresso Maker after each use.

Descaling

If you live in a hard-water area, minerals and calcium found in the water will accumulate and affect the operation of your machine. After approximately every 300 cups of coffee, your Espresso Maker should be cleaned with distilled vinegar in the following manner in order to remove the mineral deposits.

1. Before cleaning your Espresso Maker, make sure the Steam Release Knob is in the minimum (-) ➖ position and the appliance is thoroughly cooled and has been disconnected from the wall outlet.
