ESPRESSO PREP:
1. Scoop your finely ground espresso into the portafilter.
• For 2 servings of espresso, fill filter to the 2 cup line located
inside the portafilter.
• For 4 servings of espresso, fill filter to the 4 cup line located
inside the portafilter.
2. Lightly tamp/press down the espresso in the portafilter by
pushing down with the back of the measuring scoop/tamper.
(If tamped too much, the water will not go through the espresso.)
3. Insert the portafilter into machine. The handle should be aligned
with the lock symbol and pointing directly at you when
standing in front of the machine.
TIME TO BREW AND FROTH:
Note: If making a cappuccino or a latte, follow steps 1-8.
If you are making an espresso, follow steps 1, 2, 7, 8!
1. Place the ceramic mug onto the drip tray and under the portafilter.
2. Plug in the machine and turn control knob on the left side of the machine to “Brew.”
3. Pour in your desired amount of cold milk into a the frothing pitcher, but allow enough room
for expansion of the foam (typically 1/3 or 1/2 of the top).
*Frothing texture is highly dependent upon the milk type used. 2% is recommended; whole
milk creates finer bubbles while skim milk creates larger bubbles.
WATER PREP:
1. Remove the water reservoir cap.
• For 2 or 4 servings of espresso, fill the water measuring cup with water to the
appropriate mark and pour into water reservoir.
• If making a cappuccino or latte, fill water measuring cup with water up to the steam
mark and pour it into the reservoir.
2. Screw cap back onto water reservoir.
