The

Capresso

EC100

Espresso

/

Cappuccino

Machine

Thank

you

for

purchasing

the

Capresso

EC100

Espresso

and

Cappuccino

machine.

For

Warranty

please

see

the

end

of

this

booklet.

For

accessories

and

parts

please

form

or

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

£C100

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.

Preparing

Espresso

a)

Make

sure

there

is

water

in

the

water

container,

the

filter

holder

with

the

sieve

and

ground

coffee

is

securely

in

place

and

your

cup(s)

are

pre-warmed

(chapter

5).

b)

Place

one

or

two

espresso

cups

underneath

the

portafilter,

c)

When

the

red

light

illuminates,

turn

the

selẹctor

dial

to

the

cup

symbol

on

the

left

side.

At

this

time

the

green

light

will

illuminate.

d)

When

the

desired

amount

of

espresso

is

brewed,

stop

the

flow

by

turning

the

selector

dial

to

the

indicating

the

thermoblock

is

heating

the

water

for

your

next

espresso.

Note:

After

stopping

the

flow

of

espresso,

the

EC100

automatically

creates

a

bit

of

steam

and

pushes

the

remaining

water

from

the

thermoblock

into

the

tray

underneath.

This

ensures

that

there

will

be

no

rest-water

in

the

heating

system.

After

preparing

a

few

cups

of

espresso

carefully

pull

the

tray

out

of

the

machine,

empty

and

replace.

e)

Remove

the

cup(s)

and

enjoy.

Within

seconds

the

green

light

will

turn

off,

indicating

that

the

EC100

is

ready

for

the

next

brewing

cycle.

f)

Remove

the

portafilter

from

the

appliance.

9)

Lift

the

thumbguard

over

the

sieve

and

hold

it

down.

h)

Turn

the

portafilter

upside

down

and

tap

out the

used

coffee

grounds.

i)

Rinse

sieve

under

warm

water

and

make

sure

the

holes

are

free

of

coffee

deposits.

You

are

ready

to

prepare

the

next

espresso.

8.

Preparing

Cappuccino

Cappuccino

is

the

combination

of

one

or

two

shots

of

espresso

with

an

equal

or

larger

amount

of

hot

milk

and

milk

froth

(for

Latte

see

chapter

10).

Frothing

Milk

Always

start

with

cold

milk.

Skim

or

Fat-free

milk

will

produce

the

most

froth

and

provide

a

stronger

espresso

taste.

1%

and

2%

milk

will

produce

less

froth,

and

whole

milk

will

produce

less

than

half

the

amount

of

froth

of

skim

milk.

a)

Fill

a

stainless

steel

pitcher

with

6

to

8

oz.

of

milk,

this

will

provide

enough

froth

for

two

to

three

cups

of

cappuccino.

Make

sure

that

there

is

enough

space

left

in

the

pitcher

for

the

milk

and

milk

froth

to

expand.

TIP!

Although

it

is

recommended

to

use

a

stainless

steel

pitcher

to

froth

milk,

porcelain

or

ceramic

cups

can

also

be

used.

b)

First

prepare

your

espresso

(see

chapter

7),

but

use

larger,

pre-heated

cappuccino

cups

instead

of

espresso

cups.

c)

Swivel

the

frother

to

the

right

and

immerse

the

black

frother

sleeve

about

two

thirds

into

the

milk

inside

the

pitcher.

Make

sure

the

black

sleeve

does

not

hit

the

bottom

of

the

pitcher

during

frothing.

d)

Turn

the

Selector

Dial

to

the

steam

symbol

on

the

right

side.

Within

10

to

15

seconds

the

EC100

will

start

releasing

hot

steam

into

the

milk.

During

the

steam

release,

the

EC100

pump

will

make

an

intermittent

noise

indicating

that

droplets

of

water

are

inserted

into

the

heating

system

to

be

converted

into

steam.

During

frothing

the

green

light

will

be

on,

indicating

that

the

system

is

heating.

e)

To

stop

dispensing

steam,

turn

the

Selector

Dial

to

the

middle

position

and

remove

the

pitcher.

f)

Set

the

pitcher

aside

for

a

few

seconds

to

allow

the

froth

to

thicken.

9)

Spoon

the

frothy

milk

over

the

espresso

and

then

fill

the

remainder

of

the

cup

with

warmed

milk.

x

>

h)

Garnish

with

cocoa

powder

or

chocolate

sprinkles.

Note:

To

increase

the

temperature

of

the

frothed

milk,

stop

the

frothing

action,

set

the

pitcher

aside

and

pull

off

the

black

frother

sleeve.

Now

insert

the

frothing

wand

into

the

milk

again

and

continue

steaming.

The

milk

will

get

hotter

without

any

additional

frothing

action.

|

Note:

You

can

also

first

froth

the

milk

directly

inside

your

cappuccino

cup

and

then

add

a

shot

of

espresso:

Prepare

the

portafilter

and

insert

into

the

machine.

Then

froth

the

milk

inside

the

cappuccino

cup

(steps

c

to

e)

above.

Now

move

the

cup

with

the

frothed

milk

under

the

portafilter

and

add

the

shot

of

espresso.

This

way

you

don't

waste

any

milk.
