AmericanoEspresso
Remove the old
capsule and
discard. Insert a
new capsule for
the next coffee.

Fill a cup with 2/3 hot water and place on
the cup rack of your Minu machine. Choose
your preferred capsule and add an
espresso shot directly into the hot water. This
guarantees the full flavour of the coffee.
Add a splash of cold milk for a white
Americano.
NB. Never pour boiling water on to an
espresso as this will burn it and create a
bitter taste.
HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT AMERICANO WITH YOUR MINU.
Make an espresso and mix in
chocolate powder or chocolate
syrup. Heat and froth some milk using
either the cappuccino or
latte setting on your frother, and
pour on top of your espresso and
chocolate mix.
Heat your milk using the latte setting
(without the metal whisk). Pour this in to
a tall glass then place your glass on to
your Minu cup rack. Next add your
chosen espresso directly on top of the
hot milk and watch it settle into layers.
Stir before drinking.

Descaling
Descale your machine every 3-4 months (more frequently for areas with hard
water or high machine usage i.e. more than 2 coffees per day).
1. Fill the tank with an appropriate descaling solution and top up to the max
line with fresh cold water.
2. Place a cup under the dispensing spout.
3. Check there is no capsule in the capsule drawer , then draw two cups
(approx 150ml each) of water through the coffee spout.
4. Leave the machine for 15-20 minutes.
5. After this period return to the machine and switch back on.
6. Continue to run water from the machine until the tank is empty.
7. Remove the tank, rinse, refill and replace.
8. And finally, to complete the process run a full tank of water through the
machine to remove any residue of the descaling solution.
9. Descaling is now complete.
Cleaning and Maintenance
•Empty and clean the drip tray and excess water drawer after every 10
coffees, or every 2/3 days.
•Replace the water in the water tank every day.
•Do not leave water in the circuit for more than 4 days, should this happen
then run some water through the coffee spout without a capsule before
making your coffee.
