Important Safety Instructions - Oster BVSTEM7701 Instruction Manual

Congratulations! You have selected a quality Oster
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
drip 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 1/3
espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, and 1/3 frothed milk. Preparing espresso or cappuccino is
very different from brewing regular drip coffee since this appliance works under pressure
and requires special attention.
Please read ALL of the instructions, cautions, notes and warnings included in this
Instruction Manual carefully before you begin to use this appliance. When this unit is
used, some parts and accessories get hot and need to cool down. Proper care and
maintenance will ensure the long life of the Oster
trouble-free operation. Save these instructions and refer to them often for cleaning and
care tips.
Your Oster Espresso/Cappuccino Maker can be used with ground coffee as well as
®
E.S.E. pods (45 mm), making it exceptionally practical and versatile to prepare single
shots of espresso (Ristretto).
