introduction

Congratulations! You have selected a quality Sunbeam® 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
Sunbeam® 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.

ATTENTION: PLEASE DO NOT!

(Follow these instruction closely for the best espresso making experience)

1. DO NOT attempt to unscrew Water Reservoir Cap OR remove Filter Holder

without releasing pressure first. To release the pressure, immerse the tip
of the Frothing Aid into a Frothing Pitcher with a small amount of water
in it. SLOWLY TURN THE CONTROL KNOB TO THE

POSITION AND
RELEASE THE STEAM. When the Frothing Aid stops releasing steam,
turn the Control Knob to the“OFF” position and slowly remove the Water
Reservoir Cap. This will both release the pressure in your unit and clean
the Frothing Aid.

2. DO NOT apply pressure to the Filter Retainer Clip when turning Filter into
the Lock position. This may cause the Filter Retainer Clip to break.

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.
Excess grounds on the edge will cause improper lock which could result
in leaking and damage to the seal.

7. DO NOT

or

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 odours 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.

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.

1. First, follow steps for How to Brew Espresso BUT using the Cappuccino
Ingredient and Measuring Guide above.

2. While espresso coffee is brewing, fill stainless steel or ceramic frothing
pitcher with desired amount of cold milk. Once espresso coffee has
finished brewing to the desired 2 or 4 cup mark on the Glass Carafe, turn
the Control Knob to the “OFF” position.

3. Lift the frothing pitcher so the Frothing Aid is immersed in the milk,
keeping it just off the bottom of the pitcher. (See Pic. 1)

4. Slowly turn Control Knob to

position. (See Pic. 2)

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. (See Pic. 3)

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

from the

Brew

Steam

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.

(See Pic. 2)

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.

suggested cleaning interval

Type of Water Cleaning Frequency

Soft Water (Filtered Water ) Every 80 Brew Cycles
Hard Water (Tap Water ) Every 40 Brew Cycles

to delime Water reservoir:

1. Make sure the Control Knob is in the “OFF” position and that the Power Cord is unplugged from

the electrical outlet.

2. If the appliance is cool and the pressure has been released, remove the Water Reservoir Cap and

fill Reservoir with fresh, undiluted white household vinegar.

3. Allow appliance to sit overnight with the vinegar solution in the Water Reservoir.

4. Discard vinegar through the top opening of the Espresso Maker by turning the machine upside

down over the sink.

5. Rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly with tap water by filling tank half full with water and then
pouring the water back out into the sink, repeating this step twice.

to delime internal parts:

1. Make sure you delime the inside of the Water Reservoir first by following the “Deliming” steps
above.

2. Fill Glass Carafe to 4 cup mark with fresh, undiluted white household vinegar to the top of the
metal band and pour into Water Reservoir.

3. Screw the Water Reservoir Cap and make sure the Cap is on tight.

4. Insert the Filter Holder (with Filter) in its groove and turn handle to the right until it shifts to

Position. Place the Glass Carafe with lid on the Drip Tray.

5. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.

6. Turn the Control Knob to the position.

7. When vinegar reaches the 2 cup mark on the Glass Carafe, place a cup with cold water under the
Frothing Aid. Insert the Frothing Arm into the water and slowly turn the control knob to the

Brew

Steam

position.

8. Allow steam to fully run out.

9. Turn Control Knob to the OFF position.

carafe cleaning

Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the Glass Carafe. Coffee discolours these
deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the Carafe. To remove these stains, follow
these simple steps:

1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.

2. Let solution stand in carafe for about 20 minutes and then discard.

3. Wash and rinse the carafe thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.
These may cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
