Polarized Plug; Facts You Should Know - Salton CAPPUCCINO EXPRES EX-182 Manual

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
INTRODUCTION
It was about 100 years ago when the Italians introduced the first machine
that would extract the rich and robust flavour of coffee through a rapid
brewing process, aptly called "espress".
Espresso Coffee is made by rapidly forcing hot water by means of steam
pressure through the ground coffee, thus extracting the flavour.
Now that you are the proud owner of the SALTON Cappuccino Exprès ,
you can experience the taste of a delicious cup of espresso or cappuccino,
time and time again, in the comfort of your own home.
The SALTON Cappuccino Exprès retains the authenticity of the traditional
steam-activated brewing process, but simplifies the operation. A perfect cup
of espresso is assured every time. Cappuccino is a combination of half
espresso coffee and half frothy, heated (steamed) milk. Frothy milk is easily
obtained using the special Frothing Nozzle on the SALTON Cappuccino Exprès.
Espresso has no match as an after-dinner drink. It complements any meal.
When liqueurs are added to freshly brewed espresso, an altogether new taste
is obtained.

FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW

1. The flavour of your coffee depends on the characteristics of the beans
from which it is made, the type of bean, how and where it was grown,
harvested and processed. Espresso is not a variety of coffee bean; it
describes the brewing process. The flavour of a coffee bean is determined
by many factors, but its taste and aroma are the result of the roasting
process. Most coffees purchased from the supermarket shelf are roasted
to a moderate degree. Their beans are light in colour and have a dry,
rather than an oily surface. This is known as the American roast. Coffee
beans that are roasted for a longer period of time and at higher
temperatures will be much darker in colour. A darker roasted bean tends
to have an oily surface and creates more caramelization of the sugar
