INTRODUCTION
Congratulalionsl You are the owner of a Mr. Coffee model ECMP3 pump espresso/
cappuccino maker. This unique appliance has been designed to provide you with
delicious restaurant quality espresso/cappuccino quickly and conveniently.
Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through
finely ground 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-112 to
2 oz. portions, in demilasse cups.
Most espresso drinkers outside of Europe prefer cappuccino, a drink made of about
one third espresso, one third hot milk, and one third foam.
Preparing espresso or cappuccino is very different from brewing regular drip coffee.
To ensure your safely and the long life of this appliance, please read all inslruclions,
cautions, notes, and attentions.
H
ELPFUL HINT:
Inside the Espresso machine water is heated up. This water will expand and as
a result some drops may leak from the frothing nozzle and/or the waler outlet opening.
This is quite normal. Do not forget to move the frothing nozzle backwards into a position
over the grid if you do not wish to use it.
The Espresso machine is protected against damage due to overheating. If the pump
operates for too long it will automatically turn off. If this happens, switch the appliance
completely off and let it cool down for approximately 45 minutes. Then remove air. After
this you can use the Espresso machine again.
