Operation Manual

12) Clean the steam tube of any excess milk (which can clog the opening as it dries), by opening the steam valve with

the tip facing down until all the steam has been released.

13) Pour 1/2 to 2/3 cup of espresso into each cup, adding sugar if desired. Pour in steamed milk and top off with a

couple spoonfuls of milk froth.

14) Sprinkle on a dash of cinnamon, crushed chocolate, or nutmeg, and serve.

GENERAL NOTES

For espresso and cappuccino, we recommend using dark roast coffee beans, generally called Italian or French Roast,

however you might test lighter roasts to learn what suits your palate the best.

If kept refrigerated, coffee will stay fresh for 2-4 weeks in an airtight glass or ceramic jar, provided it was freshly roasted

when you bought it. Large quantities can be frozen in multiple small airtight glass or ceramic jars, then allowed to reach

room temperature to prevent condensation before opening.

In making the best possible cup, the coffee should be fresh and ground to the correct fineness.

If you want to further enhance the flavor and aroma, grind the coffee immediately before preparing. The beans should

be ground very fine, but not to a powder. Using a burr grinder will give you the most consistent results.

Grinding the coffee too coarse and large produces watery and bitter coffee. Too fine and powdery, and it can clog the

coffee filter. If no coffee comes out at the right time, remove from the heat source and open the steam valve to release

the pressure before opening the lid to replace the grounds.

Only coffee grounds and water should be used inside this machine. Other substances can clog the valves and leave a

lasting taste in the machine.

Clean milk off the steam valve as soon as possible, to prevent it from drying and clogging the tip. After frothing, open

and close the valve for a couple shots of steam to clean off any milk that got inside. If it is already clogged and this

doesn't work, wait for the machine to cool, then use a pin to clear the opening.

CAUTIONS:

Be very careful when opening the steam valve after heating. The hot steam can scald you.

Only open the machine after all the steam has been released and the machine has cooled.

Never cover the hole of the safety valve when filling the machine with water.

Use the appropriate size burner on your stovetop, and keep the heat under the machine.
