3. EQUIPMENT The EspressoClassic comes with: • Measuring scoop with tamper • Porta filter • Small sieve, one cup • Large sieve, two cups • Pod sieve • Removable water container • Instruction manual • Mail Order form locked position. (Do not force past the "LOCK" position!). j. Place a cup underneath porta filter. (fig. 11) k. Turn selector knob to right "brewing coffee" position (fig. 6 ) l. Allow 3-4 ounces of water to run through machine. Turn the selector knob left back to the "O"-position. (fig. 5).
important factors for the right espresso flow and the crema production are • correct grind • water temperature 9. MAKING ESPRESSO a. Before making the first cup of espresso we recommend that you pre-warm the machine, filter holder, and cup. Otherwise you may run the risk that your first cup of espresso is not as hot as it could be. b. Insert and lock the filter holder without a sieve and place an empty cup underneath spout. Turn selector knob to the cup position (fig. 6).
c. Remove sieve from porta filter and rinse with warm water to remove any used coffee grinds. Hold sieve up to light to check if the small holes are clean. d. Rinse porta filter with warm water. **Using coffee pods might not produce as much crema as brewing with ground coffee.** One coffee pod normally yields one serving. If you are making a double shot you must use two pods. DO NOT PLACE 2 PODS IN SIEVE AT THE SAME TIME: to brew a double shot, you must brew with one pod at a time, into the same cup. 11.
milk, or froth the milk first and then prepare the espresso directly into the cup which contains the frothed milk. 14a. FROTHING MILK FOR CAPPUCCINO TIP: When frothing milk, make sure your container has enough room for the milk froth to expand, e.g. if you want to steam and froth 6 oz. of milk, your container should have at least a 12 oz. capacity. TIP: For a novice it may be easier to steam and froth with a bit more milk. No milk will be wasted as it can be re-used again later.
making sure that the mesh is free of coffee oils. Hold sieve up to light to check if the small holes are clean. Soak in a mild detergent and scrub lightly if necessary. • The inner screen should also be cleaned. Use a coin to unscrew inner screen (fig. 18). Wipe inside clean and replace screen. Make sure to screw in securely. 15. MAKING LATTE Latte is similar to Cappuccino. The difference is that, in general, the milk added has very little or no froth on top.
f. Clean water tank thoroughly, fill with fresh water and pump half of the water through the porta filter and half through the steam tube to eliminate any vinegar smell or taste. g. Replace the inner screen and the steam nozzle. 21. TROUBLESHOOTING a. My coffee is not hot enough • See chapter 9 (a). • Drink your coffee immediately after brewing. For cappuccino or latte: make sure to increase the milk temperature chapter 14b).
f. There is some coffee residue in the bottom of my cup • This is normal. With pressure brewed coffee you will always have some fine coffee powder in the bottom of your cup. • If this bothers you, try pre-packed coffee pods (chapter 12). The paper cover acts like a filter. g. Water and coffee run down on the side of the porta filter • Wipe the inner screen with a wet paper towel. • Make sure that the rim of the sieve and the porta filter are free of coffee grounds before inserting into the machine.
...the Espresso Machine f. Can I fill other liquids into the water tank, such as milk or sweetened water? • No, you will destroy the pump and the Thermoblock system.
