SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

1.A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from a person or pet becoming entangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord.

2.An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in its use.

3.If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. The resulting extended cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

4.This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

5.You can customize the length of the power cord so that it is the exact length you desire. To increase the length of the power cord: grasp the power cord (not the power plug) and gently lift it out of the slot, then pull it away from the coffeemaker. To decrease the length of the power cord: grasp the power cord (not the power plug), lift it out of the slot and gently feed it into the coffeemaker. Lock the cord in the slot when finished.

CAUTION: PRESSURE

In order to avoid possible burns to body parts and/or other injury from hot steam and water, NEVER open the water reservoir cap or brew basket on the espresso machine while the unit is turned on or as long as there is pressure in the water reservoir. Make sure the coffeemaker is turned off when the carafe is empty. Brewed coffee and grounds are both very hot. Handle them with care to avoid scalding injuries. Unplug the appliance’s power cord when not in use.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have selected a quality Mr. Coffee® Coffee and Espresso Machine. This unique appliance has been designed to provide you with delicious espresso, cappuccino and coffee quickly and conveniently.

Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through finely ground coffee. Popular in Europe, it is a far richer and more full-bodied brew than regular American coffee. Because of its richness, espresso is usually served in 1-1/2 to 2 oz. portions, in demitasse cups. This machine makes espresso in 2 oz. portions. Most espresso drinkers outside of Europe prefer cappuccino, a drink made with about one third espresso, one third steamed milk, and one third frothed milk.

• Variable Steam Knob – This knob allows you to gradually increase the pressure of the steam.

HOW TO PREPARE QUALITY ESPRESSO AND CAPPUCCINO

THE COFFEE

The coffee should be freshly ground, dark roasted variety. You may want to try a

French or Italian roast. Pre-ground coffee will only retain its lavor for 7– 8 days, provided it is stored in an air-tight container, in a cool, dark area. Do not store in a refrigerator or freezer.

Whole beans are recommended, to be ground just before use. Coffee beans stored in an air-tight container will keep up to 4 weeks before they begin to lose their flavor.

THE GRIND

This is a vital step in making espresso and takes practice. The coffee must be of a fine grind.

The correct grind should look like salt.

• If the grind is too ine, the water will not low through the coffee even under pressure.

• If the grind is too coarse, the water lows through the coffee too fast, preventing a full-flavored extraction.

Be sure to use a quality grinder for uniform consistency in your espresso grind.

BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST CARAFE OF ESPRESSO

Please refer to Page 5 for Diagram of Parts.

1.Turn the power switches to the Off position and rotate the steam knob to the off position. Make sure the appliance is unplugged from the electrical outlet.

2.First remove and then wash the carafe, lid, filter and brew basket in a mixture of mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly and replace into the machine. See “HOW TO BREW ESPRESSO” below for instructions on removal and replacement of filter and brew basket.

3.To clean the inside of the machine, follow steps for “HOW TO BREW ESPRESSO” below, using water only. Do not immerse the appliance in water or attempt to reach any internal parts of the machine.

PREPARING THE COFFEE

1. Place the filter in the brew basket. (See Figure 1)

2. Fill with fresh, fine ground espresso coffee to the desired

 

setting on the filter. Do not fill above the 4-cup marking.

 

Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder. This

 

will assure proper fit under the brew head. Lightly tamp or

 

compress coffee. Do not overfill the filter basket. This might

FIGURE 1

cause clogging or overflow.

 

3.Position brew basket underneath the brew head: attach brew basket by first moving

retainer clip back, position handle to far left until it fits into the groove. Then, slowly turn to right until brew basket is located at the (lock) position.

HOW TO BREW ESPRESSO

1.Turn the power switch to the Off position.

2.Fill the glass carafe with cold water to the designated marking for the desired number of servings of espresso or cappuccino. Never use warm or hot water to fill the water reservoir. The following chart details how much water to use for the desired amount of servings.

BREWING ESPRESSO

ATTENTION: IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO, PLEASE REFER TO THE NEXT SECTION HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO.

1.Make sure the drip grid is in place on the drip tray.

2.Place the cover on the carafe so the lid opening faces the spout, and set it on the drip tray. Make sure the brew basket spout is nestled inside the center opening of the carafe lid.

3.Make sure the power switch is in the Off position.

4.Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and turn the power switch on, which begins the brewing process. The light will illuminate to let you know that the machine is on.

5. Espresso will begin to low into the carafe in about 3 – 5 minutes.

6.When the espresso stops flowing into the carafe, turn the power switch to the Off position. Unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool. Do not remove reservoir cap or brew basket until the pressure in the machine has been released. Follow procedures in section marked CAUTION: PRESSURE on Page 3.

CAUTION: Do not remove reservoir cap or brew basket at any time while the appliance is under pressure or until the appliance has cooled down. Follow the procedures marked CAUTION: PRESSURE on Page 3 to relieve the pressure before removing the reservoir cap or brew basket.

7.After the machine has cooled down and all pressure has been relieved, remove the brew basket. Using the filter retainer clip to secure the filter in the brew basket, turn the brew basket upside down to empty. Rinse the filter and basket with water.

CAUTION: The metal parts of the brew basket might still be very hot. Make sure to use the filter retainer clip when discarding the grounds. Cool these parts by running under cold water.

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO

Cappuccino is espresso topped with steamed and frothed milk. Frothing milk for cappuccino takes practice. Do not be discouraged if it is not perfect the first time. The milk should be half steamed (bottom of pitcher) and half frothed (top of pitcher). It may take a few times before you perfect this process.

For best results, we recommend frothing the milk in a separate pitcher and pouring the milk into your coffee. The milk and pitcher should be cold. Do not use a pitcher which has just been washed in warm water. We also recommend a stainless steel frothing pitcher and a beverage thermometer, if you own one, for preparing the best froth and steamed milk.

1.The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso. Therefore, fill the glass carafe with cold water to the designated marking for the desired number of servings. Never use warm or hot water to fill the water reservoir. (See Chart from “HOW TO BREW ESPRESSO” on Page 7)

2. Follow steps 1 – 5 in “BREWING ESPRESSO” above.

3.Fill a small stainless steel or ceramic pitcher 1/3 full with cold milk and set next to machine. Skim or 2% milk will be the easiest to froth. Ultimately, you will brew your espresso and froth the milk afterwards. You will need to be sure to stop brewing espresso once it reaches your desired cup marking on the carafe. This way, you will have enough steam to froth your milk afterwards.

4.If making 2 servings, stop brewing espresso at the 1-cup mark. If making 4 servings, stop brewing espresso at the 3-cup mark. Turn the frothing control knob to the Open position to start the frothing process.

5.For your convenience and storage, this appliance has a swinging frothing aid. To use the frother, simply swing the aid away or out of the machine. You are now ready

to froth and steam your milk. Hold the pitcher under the frothing tube so that the frothing aid is slightly immersed in the milk. Turn the power switch slowly to the position. Gently move the pitcher in a circular motion around the steam nozzle for about 45 seconds. REMEMBER: The milk and the pitcher should be cold prior to frothing.

6.When the milk has doubled in volume, or, if you are using a beverage thermometer, when the milk has reached 100°F insert the frothing aid deeper into the milk to further heat the milk. The temperature of the milk, when finished, should be 140°F - 145°F. Do not exceed 150°F. To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not let the frothing aid go above the surface of the milk. After frothing is completed, turn the control knob back to the Closed position before removing the pitcher from the frothing aid and turning the power switch Off. NOTE: After turning knob to Off, there still may be some espresso coming out.

7.You are now ready to make cappuccino. REMEMBER: It is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 frothed milk. Pour the espresso into a cup which has the capacity of at least 5 ounces. Then add the steamed milk to the espresso and spoon on the frothed milk.

8.Follow the instructions on Page 3 under section marked “CAUTION: PRESSURE” to flush out any residual milk from the frothing aid. (Milk can clog the frother and

prevent it from working in the future.) When finished using and cleaning the frother, swing it back into the unit.

9.Ensure power is off and unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool. Do not remove the reservoir cap or brew basket until the pressure in the machine has been released.
