Pressure
To avoid possible burns from hot steam and water, NEVER open the Reservoir Cover (1) while there is
pressure in the Boiler (17). Remove all pressure first.
To remove all pressure, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure the Espresso/Cappuccino Machine is switched off and the Steam Arm (6) is rotated outwards
to the right.
2. Place the stainless steel jug or a similar container under the Frother (7) to catch escaping steam
and hot water. Turn the Steam Control Knob (2) to the indicator position ON.
Note: The capacity of the container for catching the steam and water should be at least 1.5 liter.

INTRODUCTION
You are the owner of the model UCM-870 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. Popular in Europe, it is a far richer and more full-bodied brew than American regular coffee.
Because of its richness, espresso is usually served in 1 1/2 to 2 oz. portions, in demitasse cups.
Most espresso drinkers outside of Europe prefer cappuccino, a drink made of about one third
espresso, one third hot milk and one third foam.
Preparing espresso or cappuccino is very different from brewing regular drip coffee in that this
machine operates pressure and requires special attention. To ensure your safety and the long life
of this appliance, please read all instructions, cautions, notes and attentions.

PREPARATION ESPRESSO
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 flavor for 7-8 days, provided it is stored in an air tight container, in
a cool, dark area. Do not store in a refrigerator 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 are being to lose their flavor.
Grind
This is a vital step in the espresso making process and takes practice. The coffee must be ground fine,
but not too fine.
•
The correct grind should look gritty, like salt or sand.
•
If the grind is too fine, the water will flow through the coffee even under pressure. This grind looks
like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers.
•
If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too fast, preventing a full flavored
extraction.
Be sure to use a quality grinder or mill for uniform consistency in your espresso grind. Oval shaped
coffee mills are not recommended because the grind is not consistent.
Before Using Your Espresso Maker
1. Wash the all the accessories including the Removable Water Reservoir (5), Frother (7), Drip Tray
Cover (8), Drip Tray (9), Filter Holder (15), Cups (16), and Measuring Scoop (18) in a mixture of
mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly.
2. To rinse the inside of the machine, follow steps for brewing espresso using water only.
3. Unwind the Power Cord (20) of your machine.
How to make an Espresso
1. Fill the Removable Water Reservoir (5) to the MAX (80% of Reservoir) but not less than the MIN
level.
2. Remove the Filter Holder (15) and add the ground espresso coffee beans to the Metal Filter Basket
(10). If the Metal Filter Basket (10) has been removed from the Filter Holder (15), ensure it is
replaced before adding ground espresso coffee beans.
Note: If you want your coffee with créme, place the Creme Processor DuoCream (14) under the Metal
Filter Basket (10).
3. Fill as desired by locating the graduation marks “1” and “2” on the Metal Filter Basket (10). The
numbers indicate the number of cups of espresso that can be produced. Press the coffee evenly
down with the back of the Measuring Scoop (18).
Note: Ensure that the Steam Control Knob (2) on the right of the Espresso/Cappuccino Machine turn
to the Indicator position OFF.
4. Place the Filter Holder (15) underneath the Adaptor (19) so that the Handle (13) is positioned to the
left of center. Lift the Filter Holder (15) is secure.
5. Plug the Espresso/Cappuccino Machine into a standard domestic power outlet and turn the Switch
Control Knob (3) to the indicator position .
6. The Espresso/Cappuccino Machine is ready for use when the pre-heat indicator light that flashes
in red light turns into stable red light without flashing.
7. Position the espresso Cups (16) under the Adaptor (19). Place both of the Cups (16) under the
Adaptor (19) with one nozzle over each cup.
8. Turn the Switch Control Knob (3) to the coffee indicator position . After a few seconds, espresso
will start to dispense from the nozzle into the Cups (16).
9. When sufficient espresso has been made, turn the Switch Control Knob (3) to the indicator
position .
Note: There may be slight dripping from the nozzles after the Espresso/Cappuccino Machine stops
due to excess water in the espresso Filter Holder (15). The Drip Tray (9) is designed to collect this
liquid.
10. It is now important to release the steam pressure by following the directions under “Pressure”.
Note: Never remove the espresso Filter Holder (15) until all steam and hot water has been
released.
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
1. Cappuccino is espresso topped with steamed and frothed milk. Frothing milk for cappuccino takes
practice. Do not discouraged if it is not perfect the first time. It may take a few times before you
perfect this process.
2. 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.
Make the espresso as described previously. When finished making the espresso, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure the Espresso/Cappuccino Machine is switched off and the Steam Arm (6) is rotated
outwards to the right.
2. Fill the stainless steel jug approximately half full of milk.
3. Turn the Switch Control Knob (3) to the indicator position .

4. When the indicator light that flashes in red light turns into stable red light without flashing, turn the
Steam Control Knob (3) to the indicator ON.
5. A small amount of water may be emitted from the Steam Arm (6). This is normal. Allow it to run until
only steam is being made.
Note: It is normal when the temperature drops, the indicator light will flash in red light again, when the
temperature reaches the requirement, the indicator light will be on with red light without flashing.
6. Place the stainless steel jug or a similar container under the Frother (7), locating the end of the
Frother (7) beneath the surface of the milk (see picture). Allow the steam to froth the milk. Be careful
not to position the Frother (7) directly against the base or sides of the container to ensure it does
not overheat.
Picture
7. When milk has been frothed, turn the Steam Control Knob (2) to the indicator position OFF.
8. Pour the milk into the espresso. Generally cappuccino is made with half espresso and half milk.
9. When you have finished making espresso and frothed milk, turn off the Espresso/Cappuccino
Machine by turning the Switch Control Knob (3) to the indicator position OFF and unplug the
appliance from the outlet.
Note: Never remove the espresso Filter Holder (15) until all steam and hot water has been released.
10. It is now important to release the steam pressure by following the directions under “Pressure”.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug the appliance Power Cord (20).
2. Clean the Steam Arm (6) immediately after foaming milk by allowing the appliance to produce
steam for another 1-2 seconds, which will clear the Steam Arm (6). Wipe Steam Arm (6) with a
damp cloth. Clean the Steam Arm (6) with a needle if it is still blocked.
3. If necessary, the Frother (7) can be unscrewed and can be washed with soapy water.
4. Removable Water Reservoir (5), Frother (7), Drip Tray Cover (8), Drip Tray (9), Filter Holder (15),
Cups (16) and Measuring Scoop (18) can be washed with soapy water or placed on the top rack
only of your dishwasher.
Caution: Do not immerse machine in water. Do not remove Reservoir Cover (1) while machine is under
pressure. See section “Pressure”.
5. Always empty the Water Reservoir (5) of any water between uses.
6. Wipe housing with a soft wet cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they will
scratch the finish.
7. Do not store the Filter Holder (15) in the Adaptor (19).
How to clean the Boiler
1. When you energize the Espresso/Cappuccino Machine and then turn the Switch Control Knob (3)
to the indicator position . The water will flow through the Boiler (17) from the Water Reservoir
(5) and clean it.
2. While you clean the Boiler (17), please place a jug or similar container on the Drip Tray Cover (8) to
catch the water.
Note: The capacity of the container for catching the water should be at least 1.5 liter.
