Mr. Coffee Cafe Latte BVMC-EL1 Manual

USING YOUR CAFÉ LATTE

CLEAN YOUR APPLIANCE BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME

Make sure your first latte is as good as can be by cleaning your MR. COFFEE® Café Latte before its first use. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Wash latte pitcher and lid using a mild, non-abrasive detergent and water with a soft cloth.
   
   Do not immerse your pitcher/lid in water or place in a dishwasher. This may permanently damage the product and void the warranty.
2. Replace the pitcher onto the appliance and run a cycle with water only, without adding coffee or coffee filter. Fill the water reservoir to the single serving level and fill the latte pitcher to the single serving level.
3. When cycle is complete, turn your appliance off, discard the water in the pitcher and wash by sponge or soft damp cloth.

Your appliance is now ready to use. Enjoy it!

2. Remove the lid and wipe with damp sponge or cloth.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Should I use espresso grounds or coffee grounds when making Lattes?

Our recipes recommend using espresso grounds to closely reflect the tastes of commercially sold latte beverages. However, it is perfectly acceptable to use coffee grounds and still create a great tasting latte.

Why isn't my Café Latte brewing coffee?

Make sure the appliance is plugged into a working 120V electrical outlet. Make sure the selector switch is raised to the latte function. Make sure the power lever is turned on. And that the water reservoir has water in it.

Where do I pour the water when I use my Café Latte?

The water is to be poured in the reservoir located directly behind the brew basket. Water should be filled to the desired serving step that is marked. Please refer to instruction manual and/or quick start guide.

What type of filter can I use for my Café Latte?

A 4 cup basket filter (Paper or Permanent) can be used with your café latte. A standard 12 cup also fits but could lead to less than optimal brewing if the sides interfere with the water dripping.

My latte maker turns on, but why doesn't the frother rotate?

Make sure the on/off lever is fully lowered so contact occurs with the lid of the latte pitcher. Ensure the frothing whisk is inserted properly into the connector.

Why does the frothing action make strange sounds?

If the frothing attachment is dropped or mishandled than it could possibly bend and lead to less than optimal performance. A replacement frothing attachment can be ordered from our website or through our 1-800 customer service center.

Why is my drink coming out too weak or too strong?

The following items can all affect the consistency of your drink: (1) Too much or not enough water being poured into the water reservoir prior to brewing. (2) The selection of milk ranging from skim to whole. (3) The amount and strength of the coffee used. (4) This could also be affected by type of coffee. i.e light roast vs espresso. It is important to note that each user can customize their latte by making slight adjustments to the ratio of ingredients recommended in the recipe book.

How do I control the froth volume?

Froth volume will vary with the type of milk used. For Soy, Almond, or Non-fat milk, use less milk to avoid pitcher overflow. For whole milk, expect less froth.
