Mr. Coffee ECMP50 Instruction Manual With Recipes page 5

Congratulations! You have selected a quality MR. COFFEE
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 regular
American coffee. Because of its richness, espresso is usually served in 44 to 59 mL (1.5 to 2
oz.) portions, in demitasse cups.
Most espresso drinkers outside of Europe prefer cappuccino, a drink made with about one
third espresso, one third steamed milk, and one third frothed milk. Preparing espresso or
cappuccino is very different from brewing regular drip coffee since this appliance under
pressure and requires special attention.
