You can make a perfect cup of Espresso with no measuring and no mess. Each exclusive espresso capsule holds all the aroma and taste of freshly ground espresso for you to savor.

1. Warm your cup by rinsing in hot water before you brew the coffee so the espresso stays hot.

2. Place your cup under the spout and simply insert the capsule into the machine. Press the button.

3. Brew directly into the cup until approximately 11/2 oz of coffee has been brewed. While brewing the flow of espresso will appear to have the viscosity of warm honey and the coffee will have a thick dark gold cream foam (crema) topping.

4. Enjoy your espresso

Steam the milk before you prepare the espresso.

1. Fill your cup or a small metal pitcher with 3 oz. of cold milk. You can use low fat (1%-2%) or whole milk. The lower the fat, the frothier the milk will be. Whole milk will create a dense foam.

2. Lower the steam wand into the cup and press the button. When the foam has reached the level you desire, (approximately double) press the button to stop foaming. Do not allow the milk to boil.

3. Brew the espresso directly into the foamed milk, if you have foamed the milk in your cup. Or, brew the espresso directly into a warmed cup and gently pour the foamed milk over the coffee.

4. Be sure to run steam through the steam arm to clean out the milk and wipe the steam arm with a clean non abrasive cloth.

5. Your cappuccino should be approximately 1/3 each of espresso, steamed milk and froth.
