For Warranty please see the end of this booklet. For accessories and parts please use the attached mail order form or order through our website Experts consider brewing coffee under high pressure to be the ideal process to extract maximum flavor and aroma. The difference between espresso and con- ventional coffee is that espresso requires a shorter brewing time. This is also the reason that espresso contains approximately 30% less caffeine than con- ventional filter coffee. If possible, use thick-sided, pre-heated espresso/ cap- puccino cups which stay hot longer. Add the sugar before pouring espresso into the cup or simply shake some sugar briefly into the cup, stirring just once or twice, otherwise too much flavor escapes. The Capresso EC100 produces perfect espresso – coffee with a thick, foamy layer on top called “crema.” The “crema” traps the fine aromatics and the light gaseous flavors that register on the palate. The “crema” keeps flavor locked in that would otherwise escape. The high pressure and short brewing time prevent the extraction of bitter oils and release less caffeine than other brewing methods. Whether you are brewing a small 1 oz. shot of espresso or a larger cup of pressure brewed coffee, your EC100 will produce the absolute freshest and most aromatic cup of “crema” coffee possible. Not only will your EC100 make perfect espresso, but in seconds the easy to use frothing system turns your espresso into a delicious cappuccino. 2. Before Using for the First Time After carefully unpacking your EC100, wash all removable parts with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Familiarize yourself with the appliance and read the instructions manual. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet according to the safety instructions. Rinse the internal components before making espresso. Fill the water container and pump a few ounces of water through the brew head (Fig.1, g) and the steam wand (Fig.1, c). Follow the procedures in chapters 4 and 5 without using coffee 3. Filling the Water Container Open the water container lid and pull the water container up. Fill the container with fresh cold water. The water container has a MIN and MAX marking. Place the container back into the machine, pushing down firmly to engage the base valve. Make sure the two black hooks on top of the water container are inserted into the openings in the back of the machine 4. Control Panel a. The ON/OFF button turns the machine on and off. The orange light to the left of the button illuminates, indicating that the machine is on. Push the button again, to turn the machine off. When the machine is ON, the thermoblock heating system heats up (at this time the green Ready light is off). The initial heat-up time is under one minute at normal room temperature. Once the thermo-block is heated, the green READY light turns on. b. The SELECTOR DIAL has three positions: • LEFT (cup symbol) brewing coffee, 5. • MIDDLE (black dot) standby, brewing and steaming stops, • RIGHT (steam symbol), steam production through the frother Note: During brewing or steaming, the green READY will be off, indicating the heating system is on, maintaining the proper temperature for brewing or steaming. 5. Warming Internal Components and Cups Before making espresso, it is important to pre-warm all the internal components in the appliance and the cups. This short procedure will add 10° to 15° F to the first cup of espresso. a) Make sure the Selector Dial is in the middle position. b) Push the ON/OFF butto...
