SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1

THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in its use.
3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension
cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The
resulting extended cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over a
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
accidentally.
POLARIZED PLUGS
CORRECT USE OF GROUND COFFEE FOR ESPRESSO MAKERS
Do not use sugar roasted* ground coffee or sugar roasted coffee beans as
these will clog the filter and damage the appliance. We recommend descaling
the machine periodically to keep it in good working condition. Refer to page
10 of this booklet or visit mrcoffee.com to learn about this process.
(*) GROUND WITH SUGAR
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of
electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits
loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm
do not use that outlet.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You’re the proud new owner of a Mr. Coffee®Easy Espresso
Machine. Soon you’ll be brewing real espresso drinks just like the coffee shop.
Now, let’s get started.
UNPACK YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE
1. Remove the machine from the box.
2. Remove all plastic bags and tape holding items in place.
3. Remove and save literature for future reference.
4. Untwist the tie holding the power cord.
5. There may be a few water drops in the reservoir. This is normal; we test each unit
with filtered water.
BEFORE FIRST USE, CLEAN AND PRIME YOUR MACHINE
Cleaning and priming your Mr. Coffee®Easy Espresso Machine before its first use
is a critical process. Please follow these simple steps before brewing coffee for
consumption:
Now your Easy Espresso is ready to use!
1. Clean all removable parts with warm soapy water
(CAUTION: Do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in water or
other liquids.)
2. Place machine on a flat, level surface. Put an empty filter in the
soft-close filter drawer and slide the whole enclosure into the machine.
3. Fill the water reservoir with filtered water. Do not exceed the
“Max” mark.
4. Plug in your machine. Make sure the Ready light is on.
5. Hold a cup with 1/3 water under the frothing wand and submerge.
6. Turn the knob to Steam for 10 seconds and then back to Stop.
Discard water in sink.
7. Place a cup on the drip tray. Hint: Flip the drip tray over to
accommodate a larger cup.
8. Turn the side knob to Brew.
9. When your cup is full, turn the side knob back to Stop.
NOTE: Please note that noise during brewing or steaming is normal
due to the 15-bar Italian pump that is inside the machine.

INGREDIENTS FOR
THE PERFECT ESPRESSO
Espresso Beans and Coffee
For great-tasting espresso drinks, we highly recommend
using freshly roasted beans. You should purchase your
espresso beans every 1-2 weeks in small batches
to ensure fresh coffee every time you brew. It is very
important that you use espresso ground coffee. Espresso
ground is finer than automatic drip ground coffee.
Water
It may not seem important, but water makes up about
98% of your coffee. The type of water you brew with
greatly affects the taste. For the best gourmet espresso
drinks, we recommend using filtered or bottled water.
Cleanliness
A clean machine is essential to maintaining great tasting
espresso each and every time. Please refer to the
“Cleaning and Maintaining” section.
HOW TO BREW ESPRESSO
Gather the following prior to brewing:
1. Fresh, finely ground espresso coffee
2. Your preferred filtered or bottled water
3. Your favorite espresso cups

HOW TO FROTH MILK
Cappuccino, latte, flat white, macchiato and other
wonderful drinks all use a combination of espresso
and steamed or foamed milk. Your Mr. Coffee®Easy
Espresso Machine has an easy-to-use (and easy-to-
clean!) frothing wand for making milk-based drinks
just like the coffee shop. Here’s how:
1. Fill the water reservoir with water, but do not
exceed the MAX fill line.
2. Make sure the machine is plugged in an electrical
outlet and the Ready light is on.
3. Fill your cup or frothing pitcher about 1/3 to 1/2
full with cold milk.
4. Note that any type of milk can be used – soy, rice,
almond, coconut, etc. – but 2% fat milk creates the
best froth.
5. Submerge the frothing wand into the milk and
turn knob to Steam, so the tip is about ½ - 1” into
the milk.
6. When froth is ready, turn knob to Stop. It
typically takes about one minute to reach the ideal
temperature of 150-165ºF. The longer you froth, the
hotter the milk will get.
7. It’s very important to clean your frothing wand
after each use. Please refer to the cleaning section
on page 9.

CLEANING YOUR MACHINE
AFTER EACH USE
Keep your Mr. Coffee®Easy Espresso Machine
running smoothly by taking care of it after every use.
Follow these easy steps to clean your machine:
1. Remove the filter drawer and throw away the coffee
grounds. Discard coffee grounds by tapping the coffee
filter drawer against a trash bin.
2. Rinse the filter drawer with water and insert it back in
the machine.
3. Follow the same steps as brewing espresso, but with
no coffee in the filter.
4. To clean the frothing wand, follow the same steps
from How to Froth Milk, but instead of milk, put water in
your pitcher/cup.
5. Remove the frothing nozzle and wipe down the metal
frothing wand.
6. All removable parts are dishwasher-safe.
7. If no steam is coming out during use, the frothing tip
can be removed to clean. The coffee scoop handle has a
frothing tip removal tool.
CAUTION: To protect against electric shock, do not
immerse cord, plug or appliance in water or other liquids.

10. Repeat steps 2-7 with fresh water until there is
no more vinegar smell.
DEEP CLEANING
YOUR MACHINE
Mineral deposits built up in your Mr. Coffee®Easy
Espresso Machine will affect its performance. For best
results, the machine should be descaled/de-limed every
90 days.
10

HELPFUL HINTS
Make sure the large side knob is set to Stop before
using the machine.
Use the small filter (included) when brewing single-
shot espresso drinks.
Use the large filter (included) when brewing double-
shot espresso drinks.
When you drop your filter into the drawer enclosure,
twist to lock it in.
For best results, only use high-quality espresso
ground coffee.
Fill coffee grounds to the top of the filter and level
them, but never tamp them.
Never fill the removable water reservoir past the
MAX Fill mark.
When you’ve brewed the desired amount of
espresso, turn the knob from Brew back to Stop –
there’s no automatic shutoff.
Noise from the Pump is normal during the Brew and
Steam operation.
Make sure the frothing wand is submerged in your
milk or milk substitute before turning the knob to
Steam.
The frothing wand features a removable black cover
and a removable metal nozzle tip for easy clean-up.
