Overview

Welcome to the 21st century method of espresso, the technology of the future — The 123 Spresso.

Your new 123 Spresso is so quick to brew, so easy to prepare – there’s no guesswork. Now you can brew true Italian espressos, lattés, mochas, and cappuccinos with no clumsy handles or filter baskets, no wet, messy coffee grounds to dispose of. Just pure

coffee enjoyment.

The secret of great espresso is to start with superb coffee. Your 123 Spresso includes a supply of single-use pods. Each pod brews one shot of pure, dark-roasted Arabica coffee. This coffee has been custom-roasted by Malongo Rambouts, a century-old European coffee roaster known for outstanding coffees.

Before First Use

Your machine was hand tested before shipping to ensure that it functioned correctly. Before using for the first time, run the machine once without coffee to rinse it out. To do so:

1. Plug the machine into a 120V ~ 60 Hz outlet.

2. Fill the Water Tank with 16 ounces of fresh water.

3. Replace the Water Tank to its original position, making sure it is

properly seated on the machine.

4. Close the Lid on the top of the Water Tank.

5. Place a heat resistant container or cup (approximately 10 ounces)

under the Coffee Spout, on top of the Cup Rest Grill.

6. Switch the machine to the “ON” position and turn the Temperature Switch to the coffee cup icon.

7. After a couple of minutes the Green “GO” Light illuminates. Turn the Function Selector (on the side) to the “COFFEE CUP”. This starts the water flowing.

• Let approximately 2 ounces of hot water drain into the heat proof container you placed on the Cup Rest Grill. There will be some run-off water in the Water Overflow Tray. This is normal.

• Then turn the Function Selector back to the “NEUTRAL” position.

CAUTION: YOU MUST STOP THE WATER FLOW BY TURNING THE FUNCTION SELECTOR TO “NEUTRAL.” THE WATER FLOW DOES NOT STOP AUTOMATICALLY.

8. When the water stops flowing from the coffee spout, carefully dispose of hot water in the cup and the Water Overflow Tray. Y our 123 Spresso is now ready to use.
