Important to know
The taste of your coffee depends on
the characteristics of the beans from
which it is made, the type of bean,
and where it was grown and pro-
cessed. Coffee beans that are roasted
for a longer period of time and at
higher temperatures will be much
darker in color. Darker beans will
produce a richer cup of coffee than
lightly roasted beans.
A variety of dark roasts are available
from which you can choose to brew
your espresso. Each of these roasts
is a blend of coffee beans that are
roasted at a specific temperature pro-
ducing a specific type of flavor. There
are decaffeinated beans that have
up to 98% of the caffeine content
removed.
A fine “espresso grind” for pump-
driven machines must be used. Be
sure to ask for this when buying cof-
fee or when having beans ground. Do
not use a blade-type grinder because
it makes too much coffee dust and
produces an irregular grind.
The mark of real espresso is its dark
color, rich taste and the light brown,
natural froth called “crema” in Italian.
Cappuccino is simply a combina-
tion of espresso and hot, frothy milk.
Cappuccino is usually topped with
cinnamon, nutmeg or cocoa powder.
Espresso should be served immedi-
ately after it is made.
Espresso is served in 2 to 2 ½ oz.
demitasse cups. A 4 or 6 oz. cup or
glass is used for cappuccino.
Ideally, coffee beans should be
ground immediately before using.
Remember, it must be an “espresso
grind” for pump-driven espresso
machines.
It’s best to store ground coffee or
beans in an airtight container in the
freezer of your refrigerator. Ground
coffee tends to absorb food odors.

Instructions for the power supply cord
A short power supply cord is provided
to reduce risks of getting tangled up
or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords may be used
if care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used:
The marked electrical rating of
the extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance.
If the appliance is of the ground-
ed type, the extension cord
should be a grounded type.
The cable must not hang from
the table to avoid the risk of get-
ting caught up in it.
