Resumen del manual
A video has been provided to help explain how to use a pump-type unit. Using Your Espresso Maker Before First Use 1. Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water. Do not wash these parts in a dishwasher. 2. Make sure all three buttons are in the OFF (up) position and the steam control dial is in the closed/OFF postion. Turn the steam control dial clockwise to close. 3. Plug in the unit. 4. Fill water reservoir with cold water. 5. Depress the ON/OFF button. The ON/OFF light will glow green and the Temperature/Ready light will glow red indicating the water is heating. The Temperature/Ready light will go out when the water is heated. 6. Place a shallow container under the spouts. Make sure the container is wide enough to catch the water from both spouts. 7. After the Temperature/Ready light has gone out, press the espresso button to begin the brewing cycle. Press the espresso button to turn the water off several seconds BEFORE the container is full. This extra time is necessary to avoid over-filling the container. NOTE: The first time the unit is used it will take a little longer for the machine to pump the water. 8. Empty the container and replace to run another cycle of water until water level in the water reservoir is at “MIN”. NEVER run until the reservoir is empty. CAUTION: Pumping dry will permanently damage the appliance. After each brewing, the Temperature/ Ready light will cycle on for a few seconds to reheat for the next cup. 9. Place an empty container under the frothing nozzle. Ensure that the frothing nozzle is entirely inside the container and the steam button is off. Turn the steam control dial counterclockwise 3.4 to 1 full turn. Press the espresso button to pump water out of the frothing nozzle for 10 seconds. 10. After cleaning, empty any remaining water from the reservoir. Dry all parts. 11. Press ON/OFF button once to turn the unit OFF. Tips for Making Good Espresso • For best results, use fresh-ground, dark, espresso roast coffee. • If espresso preground coffee is used, store the unused portion in an airtight container and keep in a cool, dark area for up to one week. • The grind of the coffee will affect the taste of the coffee and how the appliance works. If the grind is too coarse, water will flow too fast through the coffee and result in a weaker flavor. If the grind is too fine, the flavor may be too strong or bitter, and the grounds may clog the filter. • For hotter espresso, preheat the filter holder, the ground espresso filter, and the pod filter by first brewing water into the cups for a few seconds, then empty the brewed water. CAUTION: The filter holder, ground espresso filter, and pod filter are hot. • Espresso beans may be ground in a coffee grinder. For best results, use the Hamilton Beach Custom Grind™ coffee grinder on the espresso setting. If grinding espresso in a store or using a burr mill, then use a setting that is one to two notches coarser than the espresso setting. • Grind your espresso so that it looks gritty, like salt or sand. It is too fine if it looks like powder and feels like flour. If the coffee is ground too fine, then the water will not flow through the coffee. • Espresso pods make it even easier to brew a great cup of espresso and cleanup is as easy as throwing out the used pod. Pods can be purchased at many local coffee houses and specialty housewares stores. A web search for “coffee pods” will also connect you with many coffee pod suppliers. • If you have time to warm the cappuccino maker for 5 to 10 minutes before brewing, you can invert 1 to 2 cups on the cup warming tray. The tray will gently warm the cups and keep your beverage warmer after brewing. • Always use cold water to make coffee. Warm water or other liquids could cause damage to the appliance. Preparing to Make Espresso 1. Make sure all three buttons are in the OFF position and the steam control dial is in the closed/OFF position. 2. Plug in unit. 3. Remove water reservoir and fill with desired amount of cold water. 4. Replace water reservoir. Make sure it is fully inserted. 5. Press the ON/OFF button once. The ON/OFF light will glow green and the Temperature/Ready light will glow red indicating the water is heating. The Temperature/Ready light will go out when the water is at brewing temperature. To Make Espresso 1. Insert ground espresso filter into filter holder. (To use a pre-made espresso pod filter packet, place the pod filter in the filter holder then the pre-made espresso pod in the pod filter. Proceed with Step 3.) When using pods, only one pod for one serving may be used at a time. Pod coffee packet manufacturers vary and you may want to try different brands in your espresso maker. 2. Add one level measuring scoop for each cup of espresso. (Make up to two cups at a time.) Use the tamping tool to firmly tamp down coffee grounds to the 1 or 2 serving markings so that they are flattened down and smooth on top. Ensure no grounds are on the rim of the filter. A good seal is important ...
