Mr. Coffee ECM9 - Manuel (Page 4)

Introduction
Congratulations! You are the owner of a Mr Coffee ECMS Series Steam Espresso/
Cappuccino Maker. This machine 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 to 2 ounce portions, in demitasse cups.
Most espresso drinkers outside Europe prefer a drink made of about one-
third espresso, one-third steamed milk and one-third frothed milk. Preparing espresso or
cappuccino is very different than brewing regular automatic drip coffee in that
machine operates under pressure and requires special attention.
Please read all of the instructions, cautions, notes and attentions in this booklet carefully
before you begin to use this machine. Proper care and maintenance will ensure the long
life of this machine and its trouble-free operation. Save these instructions and refer to
them often for cleaning and care tips.
