Operation Manual

12) Close the steam valve (A16) by turning it clockwise.
13) Open the coffee valve (A12) by turning it counterclockwise.
14) Place a carafe under the brewing spout (326).
15) Place machine on the stovetop, at the highest heat that can fit under the machine, without flames coming up the
sides.
16) After 3 to 10 minutes (depending on the heat source and amount of coffee being made), the water will come to a
boil and the espresso will begin to slowly drip out from the brewing spout. The stream of espresso will become stronger
until it is mixed with sputtering bursts of steam.
(If you wish a stronger brew, turn off the coffee valve for 30 to 60 seconds as soon as the espresso begins to drip
out, then reopen it to let the espresso stream out.)
17) Close the coffee valve when the stream of espresso has been replaced by sputtering, dripping steam.
18) If only espresso is desired, remove the carafe of coffee and turn off the heat. If cappuccino is desired, leave the
heat on and allow another 3 to 5 minutes for steam to build back up.
19) Pour the espresso into demitasse cups for serving.
HOW TO PREPARE CAPPUCCINO
A) Before you begin, you will need to prepare:
1) Espresso
2) Cold whole milk (preferably extra rich)
3) Frothing pitcher
4) Cappuccino cups (regular coffee cups can also be used)
5) Carafe
B) Operating procedures:
1) After preparing espresso, close the coffee and steam valves.
2) Allow the machine to continue heating for 3 to 5 minutes until the pressure in the boiler is sufficient for you to
steam the milk.
3) Meanwhile, fill the pitcher with milk to the desired level, but not more than one-half, since the milk volume will
double with steaming.
Estimate the fill quantity through the desired serving proportions of: 1/2 to 2/3 espresso to 1/3 to 1/2 milk.
4) Place the pitcher under the steam tube so that the tube tip is under the surface of the milk.
5) Slowly open the steam valve until you get strong and steady steam.
6) Move the pitcher slowly from side to side, and slightly up and down. The milk with swirl and become steamy hot
and frothy.
7) Continue until milk foam fills the pitcher, but do not allow milk to boil. (Producing rich milk foam can be a bit
tricky and may require practice.)
8) Close the steam valve.
9) Remove the pitcher from the steam tube.
10) Remove machine from heat.
11) Turn off the heat source.
