Introduction
Congratulations! You are the owner of a Details by Mr Coffee model ECM7 Steam Espresso/
Cappuccino Maker. This unique appliance has been designed to provide you with an excellent
tasting cup of espresso or cappuccino quickly and conveniently.
Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through
finely ground espresso 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 l-1 /2 to 2 ounce portions, in demitasse cups.
Most espresso drinkers outside Europe prefer cappuccino
a
drink made of about one-
third espresso, one-third hot milk and one-third f oam milk. Preparing espresso or
cappuccino is very different than brewing regular automatic drip coffee.
To ensure your safety and long life of this appliance, please read all instructions, cautions,
notes, and attentions.

The coffee should be freshly ground, dark roasted variety. You may want
to try a French or ltalian roast. Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavor
for 7-8 days, provided it is stored In an air tight container, In a cool, dark
area. Do not store in refrigerator or freezer.
Whole beans are recommended, to be ground Just before use. Coffee
beans stored In an alr tight container will keep up to 4 weeks before they
begin to lose their flavor.
The Grind
Having the right grind is vital to making a good cup of espresso. The cof-
fee musl be ground fine, but not too fine.
The correct grind should look gritty, like salt or sand.
ꢀ
If the grlnd is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even
under pressure. This grind looks like powder and feels like flour when
rubbed between fingers.
If the grlnd Is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too fast,
preventing a full flavored extraction.
ꢀ
Be sure to use a quality grinder or mill for uniform consistancy In your
espresso grind. Oval shaped coffee mills are not recommended because
the grind is not consistant. We recommend using the Mr. Coffee Burr
Mill.

For best results, we recommend frothing the milk in a separate pitcher
and pouring the milk into your coffee. The milk and pitcher should be
cold. Do not use

pitcher which has just been washed in warm water.
Whenpreparing cappuccino, we recommend having all Ingredients on
hand.
1. The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso. Therefore,

motion around the steam nozzle. Because warm
milk does not froth, the milk should be frothed from

When the milk has doubled in volume, insert the
steam nozzle farther down into milk to further heat the
milk. To avoid splatlering of hot milk, do not lift the
steam nozzle above the surface of the milk until the
steam selector control knob is in the OFF position.
After the milk is frothed, set the pitcher aside and
allow the milk .to settle.

Cleaning Yo u r Espresso
/
Cappuccino
I. Unplug the appliance power cord.
2. After the machine has cooled down, remove the filter holder from the
brew head. CAUTION: the metal parts of the filter holder might still
be very hot Also there may be hot water floating on the top of the
filter basket. Hold the filter holder steady. Using the filter retainer clip
to secure the filter basket in the filter holder, turn the filter holder upside
down to empty. Rinse the filter basket and holder with cold water.
3. Clean brew head by wiping away coffee grounds that may be stuck to
the brew head. (the underside area of the machine where the filter hold-
er rests securely.)
4. The filter holder, filter basket, and drip tray can be washed with soapy
water or placed on the top rack only of your dishwasher.
CAUTION: Do not Immerse machine In water.
5. Always empty the water tank of any water between uses.
6. Wipe housing with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or
scouring pads as they will scratch the finish.
7. Do not store the filter holder in the brew head. This can adversely affect
the seal between the brew head and the filter holder while brewing
espresso.
Deliming
Mineral deposit build-up in the espresso maker will affect the operation of the
machine. Your espresso maker must be delimed when you begin to notice
an increase in the time to brew espresso, or when there is additional steam-
ing. Also, you will notice a build up of while deposits on the surface of the
brew head.
The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of the water used.
The following table gives the suggested cleaning Intervals.
SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL
Clenning Frequency
every 80 brew cycles
every 40 brew cycles
Type of Water
Soft Water
Hard Water
Your espresso maker may be delimed using white household vinegar.
Follow steps 3-8 on pages 10-11.
I. Make sure the steam selector control knob is in the OFF position and
that the plug is disconnected from the electrical outlet.
2. If the machine is cool pour 29 ounces of undiluted white household
vinegar into the water reservoir.
3. Place water reservoir back into the machine.

4. lnsert the filter holder into the brew head and place a mug on the drip
tray. Do not fill filter holder with coffee.
5. Plug the machine into the electrical outlet and turn the on/off switch

6. Place a cup with cold water under the steam nozzle. Submerge the
tip of the steam tube in the water. Slowly turn the selector control
knob to the On position. After a few seconds close the steam nozzle
by turning the selector control knob to the OFF position. This will
clean any residue left in the nozzle from frothing milk. Next turn the
brew switch to the CUP position. Vinegar will begin to flow through
the filter. Let this process continue until the vinegar in the water
reservoir reaches the minimum line on the water reservoir.
7. When all the vinegar has been pumped out to the minimum level of
the water reservoir, turn the brew switch to the “0” OFF position and
turn the on/off switch to OFF. Allow the machine to cool. Empty the
remaining vinegar from the water reservoir by lifting the lid and
removing the water reservoir. Pour the remaining vinegar down your
sink.

Repeat steps. 1-8 using only tap water to rise any remaining traces of
vinegar out of the machine. Repeat this process twice, allowing the
