INTRODUCTIONCongratulalionsl You are the owner of a Mr.Coffee model ECMP3 pump espresso/cappuccino maker. This unique appliance has been designed to provide you withdelicious restaurant quality espresso/cappuccino quickly and conveniently.

Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water isforced throughfinely ground coffee. Popular in Europe, itis a far richer and more full-bodied brew thanregular American coffee. Because of its richness, espresso is usually served In l-112 to2 oz. portions, in demilasse cups.

Mostespresso drinkers outside of Europe prefer cappuccino, a drink made of about

one third espresso, one third hot milk, and one third foam.Preparing espresso or cappuccino is very different from brewing regular drip coffee.To ensure your safelyand thelong lifeofthis appliance, please read all inslruclions,cautions, notes, and attentions.

H ELPFUL HINT:Inside theEspresso machine water is heated up. This water willexpand and as

a result some drops may leak from thefrothing nozzle and/or thewaler outlet opening.This is quite normal. Do not forget to move the frothing nozzle backwards into a positionover thegrid if you do notwish to use it.

The Espresso machine is protected against damage due to overheating. If the pumpoperates fortoo long itwill automatically turnoff. If thishappens, switchthe appliancecompletely offand letitcool down forapproximately 45 minutes. Then remove air. Afterthis you can use theEspresso machine again.
