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.

removable drip grate
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

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

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
