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.
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 reservoir cap or brew basket while your
MR. COFFEE® Steam Espresso/Cappuccino Maker is turned on or as long as there is pressure in the water reservoir. See Page 6 for more important details.
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have selected a MR. COFFEE® Steam Espresso/Cappuccino Maker. This unique appliance has been designed to provide you with delicious espresso/Cappuccino quickly and conveniently.
Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through finely ground coffee. An Espresso drink is described as rich, dark 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 1.5 to 2 oz. portions, in demitasse cups.

Espresso is used as a base for many other rich and delicious beverages such as Cappuccinos and Lattes. Cappuccino is made with about one third espresso, one third steamed milk, and one third frothed milk. Latte, on the other hand, is a combination of espresso and steamed milk with a hint of foam on top, no froth is necessary.
Preparing espresso or an espresso-based beverage is different from brewing drip coffee. The differences are in the coffee grounds and in the appliance used to brew the coffee. Your MR. COFFEE® Steam Espresso/Cappuccino Maker operates under pressure and requires special attention. Please carefully read and save this instruction manual before you begin to use this appliance.

3.DO NOT attempt to push the Filter Holder past the Lock position.
4.DO NOT remove the Filter Holder at any time during the brewing process or until pressure is relieved.
5. |
DO NOT overfill the Filter with ground coffee, as |
|
|
this will cause an improper lock of the Filter Holder, |
|
|
which could result in leaking and damage the seal. |
|
6. |
DO NOT leave excess coffee grounds on the edge of |
|
|
the Filter Holder (Figure 1). Excess grounds on the |
|
|
edge will cause improper lock which could result in |
FIGURE 1 |
|
leaking and damage to the seal. |
|
|
|
7.DO NOT BREW or STEAM the appliance without water in the Water Reservoir.
8.DO NOT immerse appliance in water.
9.DO NOT touch metal parts of Filter Holder until unit has cooled. Metal parts may still be hot immediately after brewing.
10.DO NOT leave water in the Water Reservoir between uses.
11.DO NOT store the Filter Holder in the brew head. This can cause improper lock which could result in leaking and damage to the seal.
12.DO NOT fill water to the top of the Water Reservoir.
LET’S START WITH THE BASICS!
ESPRESSO AND CAPPUCCINO Basics:
Espresso is a rich, dark coffee served in 2-ounce shots. An espresso made just right is a blend of full-bodied coffee taste and aromatic enjoyment.
Cappuccino is espresso coffee that is topped with steamed foamy milk. Both taste best when brewed with freshly ground from whole bean dark-roasted coffee, such as a French or Italian roast.
Ground coffee stays fresh for one week when kept in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Whole beans will stay fresh for up to four weeks. (Please note that coffee may absorb odors if stored in a refrigerator or freezer.)
THE GRIND
Coffee should be ground to a fine grind that resembles salt grains. Use a quality grinder or burr mill, such as a MR. COFFEE® Burr Mill or grinder.
If the grind is too fine, water will not flow properly through the Filter and the result will be a bitter tasting coffee. If it is too coarse, water will flow through too fast, resulting in a weak brew.
PREPARING TO BREW YOUR FIRST CARAFE
1.Wash the Glass Carafe, Glass Carafe Lid, Filter and Filter Holder with mild detergent, then rinse the parts well
2.To clean the inside of the machine, follow the steps for “How to Brew Espresso” below, using water only and no coffee. Do not immerse the appliance in water or attempt to reach any internal parts of the machine.

5.Move Pitcher in circular motion keeping Frothing Aid just off the bottom of the pitcher. This will steam the milk. Then begin to lower pitcher so the tip of the Frothing Aid stays just below the milk’s surface. This will create the froth. Move the pitcher in a circular motion until desired amount of froth is reached. (Figure 5)
6.Turn the Control Knob to the “Off” position.
7.Pour equal parts of espresso coffee and milk. Hold froth back with a spoon while pouring your milk, then spoon the froth into the cup. Enjoy your Cappuccino! (Figure 6)
TO CLEAN: To clean Frothing Aid and release the pressure, hold a pitcher with a small amount of water under the Frothing Aid slowly turn the Control Knob to the STEAM position and release the steam. When the Frothing Aid stops releasing steam, turn the Control Knob to the “OFF” position and unplug the power cord.
CLEANING YOUR ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO MAKER
AFTER BREWING: CLEAN-UP
! Make sure to use the Filter Retainer Clip when discarding the grounds. The metal parts of the Filter Holder might still be very hot. Cool these parts by running under cold water (Figure 7).
1.After the machine has cooled and pressure has been released, remove the Filter Holder by sliding handle to the left away from the LOCK position. Discard the grounds, using the Filter Retainer Clip to hold the Filter in place while emptying.
2.Remove Frothing Aid and wipe Frothing Arm with a damp cloth. Using the Wrench built into the Scoop, unscrew the Frothing Tip and clean valve with a needle or toothpick.
(Figure 8)
3.The Glass Carafe, Glass Carafe Lid, Filter, Filter Holder and Drip Tray can be washed with soapy water.
4.Wipe housing with a soft wet cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they will scratch the finish.
DELIMING
Mineral deposits built-up in the Espresso Maker will affect the operation of the appliance. Your Espresso Maker must be delimed when you begin to notice an increase in the time to brew espresso, or when there is excessive steaming. Also, you may notice a build up of white deposits on the surface of the brew head. The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of the water used. The following table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.
