Introduction
Congratulations! You are the owner of a Details by Mr Coffee model ECM7 Steam Espresso/
Cappuccino Maker. This unique appliance has been designed to provide you with an excellent
tasting cup of espresso or cappuccino quickly and conveniently.
Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through
finely ground espresso 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 l-1
/2 to 2 ounce portions, in demitasse cups.
Most espresso drinkers outside Europe prefer cappuccino a drink made of about one-
third espresso, one-third hot milk and one-third f oam milk. Preparing espresso or
cappuccino is very different than brewing regular automatic drip coffee.
To ensure your safety and long life of this appliance, please read all instructions, cautions,
notes, and attentions.

The coffee should be freshly ground, dark roasted variety. You may want
to try a French or ltalian 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.
Whole beans
are recommended, to be ground Just before use. Coffee
beans stored In an alr tight
container will keep up to 4 weeks before they
begin to lose
their flavor.
The Grind
Having the right grind is vital to making a good cup of espresso. The cof-
fee musl be ground fine,
but not too fine.
The correct grind should look gritty, like salt or sand.
! If the grlnd is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even
under pressure. This grind looks
like powder and feels like flour when
rubbed between fingers.
! If the grlnd 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 consistancy In your
espresso grind. Oval shaped coffee mills are not recommended because
the grind is not consistant. We recommend using the Mr. Coffee Burr
Mill.

ow to Make Cappuccino
Capp uccino is espresso topped with steamed milk. This pump style
mach ine has ample pressure to make perfect froth. However, It may
take a few times before you
aid frothing like a “pro’Do not be
disc-
couraged if It is not perfect the first time.
For
best results, we recommend frothing the milk in a separate pitcher
and pouring the milk into your coffee. The milk and pitcher should be
cold. Do not
use a pitcher which has just been washed in warm water.
When preparing cappuccino, we recommend having all Ingredients on
hand.
1. The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso. Therefore,

Gently move the pitcher in a circular
motion around the steam nozzle. Because warm
milk does not froth, the milk should be frothed from
just below the surface.
5.
When the milk has doubled in volume, insert the
steam nozzle
farther down into milk to further heat the
milk. To avoid splatlering of hot milk, do not lift the
steam nozzle above the surface of the milk until the
steam selector control knob is
in the OFF position.
After the milk is frothed, set
the pitcher aside and
allow the milk
.to settle.
6. Clean the steam nozzle immediately after frothing milk. Place a

used.
The following table gives the suggested cleaning Intervals.
SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL
