While holding the pitcher at an angle, allow the steam to move the milk around.

When the foam has almost reached the top of the pitcher, turn the espresso maker off. Reserve steamed/frothed milk. Turn the machine back on. Wait for the amber heating light to go off again, if necessary. Place a demitasse cup
A flip top cover allows for easy access to the water reservoir, coffee filter basket and water filter. We made a water reservoir with a large fill area for easy filling from both the front and sides of the unit and to minimize spills. Our unique showerhead evenly distributes the water over the coffee, reducing temperature loss as water passes through coffee grounds. A water filter guarantees the purest coffee and the handgrip on the filter holder makes it easy to place and remove. This coffeemak

If the grind is too fine, overextraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog your filter. If too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and the desired flavors will not be extracted. We recommend a medium-fine grind.

While we offer this feature, we do not recommend that you pour the coffee before the cycle has reached completion, since the coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle has a flavor profile which is very different from the flavor at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup during the brewing cycle will alter t
Wipe heating plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the heating plate.
