HOW TO PREPARE QUALITY ESPRESSO AND CAPPUCCINO AT HOME

T

HE

C

OFFEE

The coffee should be a freshly ground, dark, espresso roast variety. You may buy
whole

coffee beans and grind them yourself at home using a MR. COFFEE®Burr Mill

or a MR. COFFEE

®

Bean Grinder. Store whole beans in an air-tight container, in a cool,
dark area. You do not need to store them in a refrigerator or freezer. If you buy pre-ground
coffee, plan to use the coffee within 7 to 8 days for best flavor. Store pre-ground coffee
in an air-tight container and keep in a cool, dark area.

THEG

RIND

This is a vital step in the espresso making process. The coffee must be ground fine,
but not too fine. If you buy pre-ground coffee or have it ground, make sure you get an
espresso grind.

• The correct grind should look gritty, like salt or sand.

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

Coffee that is ground too fine looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed
between your fingers.

• If the grind is too coarse, water flows through the coffee too fast, preventing a

full-flavored extraction.

• If using coffee pods, make sure they are standard size, single shot 7g/45mm coffee

pods manufactured for espresso machines. The ECMP40 DOES NOT accommodate
single shot 7g/55mm pods nor double shot 14g/55mm pods.

THEP

ROCESS

Your New MR. COFFEE®Espresso and Cappuccino Maker was designed to make

brewing
fresh espresso and cappuccino at home easy. Several hints will help you make quality
espresso and frothed milk drinks time after time. First, always start with fresh, cold water
in the water reservoir. Be sure that all parts of your machine are cleaned from previous uses.
You can preheat the cups you brew espresso into by rinsing them with hot water.
This will help keep your espresso hot after it is brewed.

The quality, roast, freshness, grind and origin of the coffee beans you use will vary the
taste of your espresso. When you brew espresso, the grounds should be “tamped” in the
filter cup. Tamping is the process of slightly packing the espresso coffee grounds down in
the filter cup. Your

MR. COFFEE

®

Espresso/Cappuccino Machine comes with a pre-measured

coffee scoop tamping tool.

N

OTE

:

Do not overpack the grounds. If you are using coffee

pods, do not tamp, just insert the coffee pod in the pod adapter within the filter holder.

Use the bottom of the scoop to slightly press the grounds down after placing them in the
filter cup (G). This will help you brew hot, rich, delicious espresso with perfect crema

SPRESSO

1. Make sure the On/Off switch (see Diagram on Page 4) is in the OFF position
and the brew and steam switches are off.

2. Plug in your new MR. COFFEE

®

Espresso and Cappuccino Maker.

3. Remove the water reservoir and fill with fresh, cold water. Be sure to keep the water
reservoir filled above the “min” water level marking printed on the reservoir.

4. Replace the water reservoir into the machine, making sure that it slides completely into
place. When inserted properly, the end of the water reservoir will be even with the base.
Make sure the end of the hose is down in the water.

5. Turn the On/Off Switch to the “On” position so that the On Light is illuminated.

6. While the water is heating, insert filter in filter holder.

7. Put grounds into filter cup using 1 scoop for one 2-ounce serving and 2 scoops
for two 2-ounce servings, or place a standard 7g/45mm espresso coffee pod in the pod
adapter.

8. Use the bottom of the scoop to press the coffee grounds so that they are flattened down
and smoothed over. Gently remove any excess grounds from the rim of the filter holder.
If using a coffee pod, do not tamp it down.

9. Insert the filter holder into the machine. Make sure the thumb guard is flipped back and
not resting on top of the filter. Insert filter holder approximately 45 degrees to the left,
using the line on the Brew Head as a guide. When properly aligned, slide the filter

handle to the right until the handle is in the locked position. The handle will be
in the “Lock” area and should feel snug. YOU DO NOT NEED TO OVERTIGHTEN.

10. Place a cup underneath the filter holder spouts. Espresso will brew out of both filter
spouts, so use a cup that is wide enough to catch liquid from both spouts or brew
into two cups placed right next to each other.

11. When the Brew Ready Indicator Light comes on, you may begin brewing espresso.

(Your machine will only take a few minutes to heat up enough water for brewing).

Press brew button on (brew position). Brew for approximately 25-30 seconds.
You may adjust brewing time to taste. A shorter brew time will yield a stronger cup of
espresso. The brew ready indicator light may go out while you are still brewing. This
just means that the machine is heating more water.

12. After 25-30 seconds, press brew button to turn off pump.

13. Remove cup from drip tray. Use caution when removing the filter holder as there can
still be hot water in the filter. Flip the thumb guard over the filter and knock out the
used grounds or spent coffee pod. Use caution as the filter and filter holder are very
hot. Rinse out the filter and filter holder and dry all parts.

14. You can brew multiple cups of espresso one right after the other! Just make sure the
water reservoir stays filled above the “min” level marking. Repeat Steps 5 – 13 above
to brew multiple cups of espresso.

P

ODS

Your new MR. COFFEE®ECMP40 Espresso and
Cappuccino Maker has been designed to be pod­adaptable, that is, you may use versatile, pre-packed,
standard single shot 7g/45mm espresso coffee pods
instead of regular espresso grounds coffee to brew your espresso. Pods contain a pre­measured amount of espresso grounds packed in tear-resistant filter paper, with the added
convenience of no-fuss handling and mess-free disposal.

To prepare espresso using espresso pods, just replace the regular filter basket inside the
filter holder with the included pod adapter, then brew your espresso as explained in the
appropriate section of this instruction manual, except that instead of putting grounds in the
filter cup, you will place an espresso pod with your favorite espresso type or blend in the pod
adapter, then insert the filter holder into the machine. Make sure that the small tab on the pod
border remains inside the adapter before you insert the filter holder, for the best seal.

OWTOMAKECAPPUCCINO

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 the pitcher). It may take a few

Pod

Pod Adapter

9

8

times before you perfect this process.

For the best results, we recommend frothing 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. Use skim or 2% milk.

We also recommend a stainless steel frothing pitcher and a specialty 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 water reservoir
with cold water. Never use warm or hot water to fill the water reservoir.

2.

Follow steps in “Brewing Espresso”.

3.

Fill a small stainless steel pitcher 1/3 to 1/2 way with cold milk. We recommend using a
MR. COFFEE

®

frothing pitcher (EFP1) or any other pitcher that holds about 10 - 12 ounces
and is around 5 inches tall. The pitcher should be cold. Do not use a pitcher that has just
been washed with warm water.

4.

Make sure the Espresso Machine is turned on and that there is water in the water reservoir.
The brew ready indicator light will go off when the machine is ready to steam milk.

5. Press the Steam Start/Stop Button. The steam ready light will come on when
the unit is ready to froth milk. The brew ready light will stay on.

6. Place the steaming tube in the pitcher with milk. Hold the pitcher so that the
steaming tube is submerged in milk and close to the bottom of the pitcher.

7. Turn the Steam/Froth Control Knob counterclockwise to begin steaming.
The steam ready light will go off while you are steaming milk. This is normal
and you may continue steaming until you have completely steamed your milk.

U

SE CAUTION

:

Steam emitted from the frothing arm is very HOT. As the milk

heats up,

the frothing pitcher will become very HOT!

8.

The specially designed frothing attachment requires very little effort to produce thick
and

frothy steamed milk. Steam the milk until the desired consistency is achieved
or until the frothed milk reaches the top of the pitcher. Slightly moving the pitcher
up and down while steaming (and keeping the frothing tube immersed in milk)
will help produce extra froth. When you are finished steaming, turn the Steam Control
Knob clockwise until it stops. Do not overtighten. Press the steam start / stop button
to complete the frothing process.

9. When the Steam Control Knob is closed, you will notice the machine releases
some steam. This is the machine releasing the pressure it has generated during
the steaming process and is normal.

I

MPORTANT

Clean the steam nozzle and frothing attachment immediately after each use. Fill a
pitcher halfway with water and run the steaming feature again for about 20 seconds.
This will clean out the inside of the steaming tube. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the
exterior of the steaming tube and frother attachment. You may want to rinse the frother
attachment with warm, soapy water. If the end of the steam tube becomes blocked with
dry milk, use a sewing needle or safety pin to clean out the small hole.

A

TTENTION

After using the steaming feature of your machine, the heating system is at its highest
temperature. If you wish to prepare more espresso immediately after steaming milk,
the heating system should be cooled down to keep from “burning” your espresso.
When the steam ready indicator light goes off, your machine is now ready to brew
espresso at the perfect temperature.

C

LEANING

When you are finished brewing espresso and steaming milk, begin cleaning by turning
the unit off and unplugging the power cord.

The filter handle and filters should be cleaned each time you brew espresso. To clean,
remove filter handle by turning the handle approximately 45 degrees left of center.
The filter handle will release down from its locked position. Use caution as the filter or pod
adapter may still contain hot water floating on top of the coffee grounds or coffee pod.
Knock the used espresso grounds or pod out while holding the filter or pod adapter in
place by holding the thumb guard lock firmly against the filter cup or pod adapter. Use
caution as the filter cup or pod adapter and the filter holder will be very hot. Rinse the filter
cup or pod adapter and the filter holder out thoroughly with water. It is not recommended to
put the filter, pod adapter or filter holder in the dishwasher. If you are not going to use the
machine again for some time, do not reinsert the filter holder on the brew head; this will
lengthen the service life of the filter seal.

Remove the Water Reservoir and empty out any remaining water. Do not wash the
Water Reservoir in the dishwasher.

Remove the Drip Tray and Overflow Grid from the machine and rinse with warm,
soapy water. Do not wash these parts in the dishwasher.

C

LEANING THEBREWHEAD

The Brew Head may need cleaning after prolonged use. You may wipe off the brew head
with a damp cloth to remove any old espresso grounds. If the brewing sieve (the underside
