INTRODUCTION Congratulations! You have selected a quality MR. COFFEE® Steam Espresso/Cappuccino Maker. This 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. An Espresso drink is described as rich, dark coffee. Popular in Europe, it is a far richer and more full-bodied brew than regular American coffee, because of its richness; Espresso is usually served in 1.5 to 2 oz. portions, in demitasse cups. Espresso is used as a base for many other rich and delicious beverages such as Cappuccinos and Lattes. Cappuccino is made with about one third espresso, one third steamed milk, and one third frothed milk. Latte, on the other hand, is a combination of espresso and steamed milk with a hint of foam on top, no froth is necessary. Preparing espresso or an espresso-based beverage is different from brewing drip coffee. The differences are in the coffee grounds and in the appliance used to brew the coffee. Your MR. COFFEE® Steam Espresso/Cappuccino Maker operates under pressure and requires special attention. Please carefully read and save this instruction manual before you begin to use this appliance.
