I NTRODUCTION
Con ratulalionsl You are the owner of a Mr. Coffee model ECMP3 pump espresso/
cappuccino maker. This unique appliance has been desi ned to provide you with
delicious restaurant quality espresso/cappuccino quickly and conveniently.
Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewin in which hot water
is forced throu h
finely round coffee. Popular in Europe, it is a far richer and more full-bodied brew than
re ular American coffee. Because of its richness, espresso is usually served In l-112 to
2 oz. portions, in demilasse cups.
Most espresso drinkers outside of Europe prefer cappuccino, a drink made of about
one third espresso, one third hot milk, and one third foam.
Preparin espresso or cappuccino is very different from brewin re ular drip
coffee.
To ensure your safely and the lon life of this appliance, please read all inslruclions,
cautions, notes, and attentions.
H ELPFUL HINT:
Inside the Espresso machine water is heated up. This water will expand and as
a result some drops may leak from
the frothin nozzle and/or the waler outlet openin .
This is quite normal. Do not for et to move the frothin nozzle backwards into a position
over
the rid if you do not wish to use it.
The Espresso machine is protected a ainst dama e due to overheatin . If the pump
operates for too lon it will automatically turn off. If this happens, switch the appliance
completely off and let it cool down for approximately 45 minutes. Then remove air. After
this you can
use the Espresso machine a ain.
