Preparing espresso or cappuccino
is different
from brewing regular drip coffee. Efectdc Espresso/
Cappuccino
makers use steam pressure to force very hot water through the coffee gr_nds to make
espresso and use steam to froth milk for cappuccino.
Since these machines
use steam pressure, it
is very important
that you read ALL the instructions,
CAUTIONS, NOTES and ATTENTIONS and use
your espressotcappuccino
maker properly.
We recommend
that you get familiar with all the parts of your "Espresso Mini" before operating
the
machine:
insert the filter in the filter holder, fit the filter holder into the filter dngs, remove and
replace the boiler cap, turn the steam knob on and off. Wash all loose parts in warm soapy water,
rinse thoroughly
and dry.

GENUINE
ESPRESSO
Espresso is a far dcher and stronger brew than regular coffee. It should'be
deep, dark and deli-
cious. Most people find that they enjoy it in smaU quantities
because of its richness and for that
reason, espresso
is usually served in small (2-2t/z oz.) demitasse
cups.
The mark of real espresso is its wonderful
inviting fragrance
and its rich frothed topping: a light
brown, cream foam called "crema". Your "Espresso Mini", propedy
used, will always produce
espresso
that is deep, dark and delicious. Just follow the instructions
and use fresh, well roasted,
pre-ground espresso
or espresso
beans you grind yourself.
