INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have selected a quality OSTER
®
Steam Espresso/Cappuccino Maker. This
unique appliance has been designed to provide you with delicious espresso/cappuccino quick-
ly 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 cof-
fee. Because of its richness, espresso is usually served in 1.5- to 2-oz. portions, in demitasse
cups.
Most espresso drinkers outside of Europe prefer cappuccino, a drink made with about one
third
espresso, one third steamed milk, and one third frothed milk. Preparing espresso or cappuc-
cino is
very different from brewing regular drip coffee in that this appliance operates under
pressure and requires special attention.
Please read ALL of the instructions, cautions, notes and attentions in this Instruction
Manual
carefully before you begin to use this appliance. When this unit is used, it cr
eates a
vacuum
as it cools. It is ver
y important for this unit to cool down appr
oximately
15
minutes
after each br
ew cycle in order for the vacuum to be released and the
cap
and
br
ew basket to safely be removed.
Proper care and maintenance will ensure
the
long life
of the OSTER
®
Steam Espresso/Cappuccino Maker and its trouble-free
operation. Save these Instructions and refer to them often for cleaning and care tips.
