Preparing Your Espresso Machine; Using Your Espresso Machine - Cuisinart Buona Tazza Instruction And Recipe Booklet

PREPARING YOUR
ESPRESSO MACHINE
1. Put the espresso machine on a dry, stable
countertop or other flat, sturdy surface
where you will be using the machine.
IMPORTANT: For first-time use or if the
machine has not been used for some time,
it is important that it is rinsed as follows:
2. Remove the lid of the water reservoir. Using
the handle, lift the water reservoir off the
base and fill with fresh, cold drinking water.
Replace the water reservoir on the base,
and cover with the lid. Using the tracks as
a guide, slide the water reservoir back into
position and push down firmly to engage.
Important: The unit will not function unless
the water reservoir is properly in place.
3. Insert the plug into a power outlet. Press
the power button once to turn the espresso
machine on. All of the controls on the front
of the machine will flash while it's pre-
heating. Lights will turn steady when the
unit is in ready mode (approximately
1 minute).
4. Make sure the drip tray and grate are in
place.
5. Place a mug on the drip tray.
6. Press the Manual
water to run through for approximately 5 to
10 seconds. Press once more to stop.
7. Position espresso cups on the warming plate.
8. The machine is now in preheat/ready mode
and ready to use.
NOTE: If the water reservoir is empty or not
properly positioned, the unit will not function.
The Short , Long
LEDs will flash. Turn off the machine, fill the
water reservoir, and turn the machine back on.
USING YOUR
ESPRESSO MACHINE
Always make sure you have water in the
reservoir, a capsule in the brew head, and
that the appropriate tray is being used.
NOTE: This machine is designed
button and allow the
, Manual and Steam
exclusively for use with illy
capsules. No other type of capsule, pod,
or coffee can be used.
Short or Long Pre-Programmed Espresso
1. Using the lever, open the brew head, insert
a capsule, and close the brew head.
2. With an espresso cup on the espresso cup
tray, select either a SHORT
or LONG (3 ounces) espresso. (The
selected function and Hotter Temperature
setting LEDs remain on, while all the other
LEDs are off. Once all LEDs are on again,
the machine is ready for the next cycle.)
For optimal results, we recommend using the
Long button with the blue "Lungo"
iperEspresso capsule. The Long
provides an Americano single espresso. Using
this setting with other iperEspresso
will alter the taste.
NOTE: As part of illy-patented technology in the
iperEspresso capsule, the brewing process is
®
completely self-contained in the capsule and
does not get into the brew head. So there is no
need to rinse in between cycles as there will be
no transfer of flavor.
CAUTION: Scalding may occur if the brewing
head is opened during brewing cycle.
Manual/Adjustable Strength Control
Programming
1. Using the lever, open the brew head, insert
a capsule, and close the brew head.
