When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.
• To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in water
or other liquid.
• Never allow the appliance to be used by children.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before fitting or taking off parts, and
before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any
manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments or spare parts not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire,
electrical shock or personal injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated oven.
• Plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use. This appliance is to be utilized for domestic use only.
Any other use is to be considered improper and therefore, dangerous.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the cover. No user
serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS • THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
• A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
• If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3 - wire, grounding type cord, the extension should be a

Fill a milk pitcher 1/3 of the way (a stainless steel pitcher will give you the best results) with milk.
Submerge the frothing wand in the milk and turn the machine to steam function. Simply hold the
pitcher in place and the wand will create rich, frothy cappuccino milk without moving the pitcher.
As a guide, when the pitcher begins to get too hot to hold, that’s a good sign that your milk has
reached the right temperature.
Keep in mind, the authentic cappuccino temperature is lower than than the temperature of the
milk drinks usually served at coffee shops. This is to preserve the nutritious elements of milk and
enhance the taste of the drink.

How to brew the Perfect CAPPUCCINO
Frothing the Milk
While you can use any type of milk with your machine, traditional cow’s milk is recommended
for the best results. The fat content will help determine final resulting foam. Whatever milk you
choose, keep it cold until it’s time to steam.
Tips for the Perfect Froth
Whole Milk Very Rich, Heavy Froth
2% Milk Rich, Creamy Froth
1% Milk Rich, Lighter Froth
Non-Fat Milk Light Foam
Barista Tips for Café Quality Espresso & Cappuccino at Home. Simply.
It is best to grind just before you brew for freshness and
the most flavor, as once the bean is ground it begins
to lose its best flavor quickly. A burr grinder gives you
the most even grind which leads to the most uniform
espresso extraction, and best experience. Cleaning your
grinder and machine regularly will help ensure you’re
always getting the best taste and performance. If your
espresso is flowing too quickly and you aren’t getting
the rich crema, your grind may be too fine. If your
espresso is coming out too slowly, your grind may be too coarse.
Typically the ideal espresso grind should be the same consistency
as a fine sand.
How to brew the Perfect ESPRESSO
The Perfect Grind
Use 1 scoop of grinds per espresso. 1 shot =1 scoop, 2 shots = 2 scoops.
Make sure you never overfill your filter.
Distribute the grounds evenly around the basket. Lay the filter basket on a flat surface,
like a table, and tamp with an even, medium amount of pressure.
The Perfect Tamping
If you prefer a stronger espresso, you can stop the shot sooner for a more concentrated brew.
If you tend to like your brew more mild, you can let your shot run a little longer.
The Perfect Brew
The perfect temperature of espresso is lower than the typical filter coffee. Keeping up with the
maintenance and descaling of your machine will help ensure that you’re consistently brewing
your espresso at the right temperature.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
There are seemingly dozens of varieties of coffee beans to choose from, but really, there are just
2 categories to consider. These can be found alone or sometimes as a blend.
BEANS: Choosing and Storing your espresso beans
Types of Beans
Barista Tips for Café Quality Espresso & Cappuccino at Home. Simply.
Another characteristic of your coffee bean is the roast. While typically an espresso is made
with a medium to dark roast, you can use any to suit your preference.
Tip: The highest quality, whole bean coffee, is sold in flexible, laminated packages, with a
small one way valve located on the package. This valve is where the air is removed from the
package, giving the bag an irregular surface. This container preserves the beans the best
and the longest, up to 2 years (if unopened).
Whatever your choice, remember, Espresso is a drink, not a roasting level or type of bean.
You can make an espresso with any type of coffee bean.
How to Store
It’s best to keep your coffee, either whole bean or already ground, in an airtight container in a
cabinet or dark cool area. Never freeze your coffee. It’s important to keep you coffee away from
air, moisture, heat and light to preserve it’s freshness.
If you have any questions, your local coffee shop barista can be a great resource.
