HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT CUP
Please make sure to select your cup according to the following chart

NOTE: The total amount of the beverage can vary depending on the type of milk used and Froth Control Knob setting.

SELECTING THE RIGHT COFFEE 

• THE COFFEE
  The coffee should be freshly ground and dark roasted. You may want to try a French or Italian roast ground for espresso. Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavor for 7 – 8 days, provided it is stored in an airtight container and in a cool, dark area. Do not store in a refrigerator or freezer. 
• Whole beans 
  are recommended to be ground just before use. Coffee beans stored in an airtight container will keep its flavor for up to 4 weeks.
• THE GRIND
  This is a vital step in the espresso making process if you are grinding your own coffee and takes practice. The coffee must be of a fine grind.
  • The correct grind should look like salt.
  • If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under pressure. These grinds look like powder and feel like flour when rubbed between fingers.
  • 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 for uniform consistency. A conical or burr mill grinder is recommended for a consistent and fine espresso grind.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
