Introduction  
Congratulalionsl You are the owner of a  
by Mr. Coffee model  
ECMPl 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 waler 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 1 -l/2 to 2 oz. portions, in demitasse 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 fife of this appliance, please read  
all instructions, cautions, notes, and attentions.

The coffee should be  
a
freshly ground, dark roasted variety. You may want  
to try  
a
French or Italian 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.  
We recommend that you start with whole beans, and grind just before use.  
Coffee beans stored in an air tight container will keep up to 4 weeks before  
they begin to lose their flavor.  
The Grind  
This is  
a
vital step in the espresso making process and takes practice. The  
coffee must be ground fine, but not too fine.  
l
The correct grind should look gritty, like salt or sand.  
l
If the grind is too fine, the water wiii not flow through the coffee even under  
pressure. This grind looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed  
between fingers.  
l
if the grind 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 consistency in your  
espresso grind. Oval shaped coffee mills are not recommended because the  
grind is not consistent. We recommend using the  
by Mr. Coffee’  
Burr Mill.

attempt to reach any internal parts of the machine.  
How To Brew Espresso  
Espresso is a full bodied coffee drink. Every cup’of espresso should be  
crowned by a thin layer of light cinnamon brown, extremely fine foam called  
"crema". Crema IS the mark of a truly fine cup, and is a testament to the skill  
of the brewer.  
Please refer to page 5 for dia ram of parts. First unwind the electrical  
cord from

Cleaning Your Espresso/Cappuccino Maker  
Remove filter holder  
First unplug the appliance power cord.  
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.  
Remove the filer holder by rotating it to the left and taking it out of the brew  
head. If you are not going to use the machine again for some time, do not  
re-insert the filter holder; this will lengthen the service life of the filter seal.  
Cleaning the filter and filter holder  
Knock the used espresso ground coffee out of the filter, holding the filter  
firmly to the filter holder by the filter retainer clip. Then clean the filter and  
the filter basket under running water. Do not place your filter holder or filter  
basket in the dishwasher.  
Remove the remaining water from the fresh water  
Cleaning frothing tube  
Clean the frothing nozzle, particularly after frothing milk. with a damp cloth.  
If necessary. the frothing nozzle can be unscrewed in a counter-clockwise  
direction u s e  
the end of the measuring spoon and then  
it can be cleaned.  
The nozzle must be screwed on again in a  
clockwise direction. Tighten  
using reasonable  
force with the end of the measuring spoon provided.  
Cleaning the drip grate and drlp tray  
The drip grate can be taken out for cleaning very easily with the aid of the  
finger-shaped depression at the rear left-hand edge of the drip tray. The drip  
tray can be taken out for cleaning by simply lifting it forward out of  
machine base. The drip grate and drip tray should be washed by hand.  
Cleaning the brew head  
After it has been in use for some time, the brew head should be cleaned with  
a
damp cloth. If the brewing sieve (the underside of the brew head) Is partic-  
ularly dirty it can be unscrewed from the brew head with the aid of a coin and  
cleaned under running water.  
Switch machine off  
If the machine will not be used for some time it should be steamed out, so  
that fresh water-is always available next time it is used. Place a container  
half-full of water under the frothing tube and proceed as follows: Open the  
steam selector control knob and let the steam out. If no more steam comes  
out, close the steam selector control knob again. To switch the appliance
