OPERATING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE 7 When the pitcher is about half full, release the Hot Water button and close the Steam dial by rotating it clockwise until it stops. The frothing boiler is now ready for use. 8 If no espresso is desired at this time, press the On/Off Power button to turn the Espresso Machine off. NOTE: Do not press the Espresso or Hot Water buttons without water in the reservoir. Damage to the water pump may occur. Brewing espresso Brewing perfect espresso is a skill that takes time to learn on any manual Espresso Machine. Your first attempts may need perfecting in order to produce the perfect consistency, smooth flavor and golden crema you expect. Practice consistently for a couple of weeks with this Espresso Machine, and you will soon produce a perfect cup every time. For better results when brewing espresso, see the "Tips for great results" section to fine tune your brewing technique. 1 Make certain the water reservoir has an adequate supply of water (the water level should be between the "max" and "min" fill lines). 2 Select the small or large capacity filter basket. Use the small capacity basket for a single shot of espresso (1 oz.), and the large capacity basket for a double shot (2 oz.). The small capacity basket can be used with paper coffee pods*. *Paper coffee pods are available for purchase at specialty coffee shops, or online. 10
