Tips

■ Espresso is often mistakenly thought of as a drink made with darker roast beans.

Some coffee roasters even mark their product as "Espresso Coffee". This is

misleading because espresso is mainly distinguished from other coffee drinks by the

correct grind size and brew process, not the type, origin, or roast of the coffee beans.

Any coffee bean can be used in making your espresso!

However, in automatic espresso machines it is not recommended to use oily beans

that most often come from darker roasts. Oil coats the inside components and may

affect the usability and life span of the machine.

■ Use the hot water button to heat up your espresso cup before brewing. Espresso has

a very small volume and will cool quicker if brewed in a cold cup.

■ Some functions can be adjusted within the SmartHQ App to meet your speciﬁc

preferences or coee type. Reference the SmartHQ section on page 19.

Your espresso machine can be used to make an unlimited number off espresso-based drinks.

Frothed milk drinks like Cappuccinos and Lattes are classics enjoyed by many.

Make sure to brew espresso BEFORE using steam. Steam function requires higher

temperatures than espresso and brewing espresso immediately after Steaming will affect the

taste of espresso.

■

Cappuccino

This drink is made with espresso, milk, and large amount of microfoam. Do not ﬁll the

milk pitcher above half way to avoid microfoam overﬂow during steaming. Frothed

milk may be as much as double in volume.

■ Latte

This drink uses espresso and steamed milk with a smaller head of foam.

■ How to steam milk:

NOTE: Steam function is only included with model C7CEBBS3RD3, C7CEBBS4RW3,

C7CEBBS2RS3.

1. After steam is preheated and ready, place the tip of the steam wand right under the

surface of the milk at the edge of the milk pitcher at approximately a 45° angle to

create a vortex. Start steaming. The longer milk is steamed under the surface the

more microfoam is created. Once desired amount of microfoam is reached, dip the

steam wand lower into the milk and continue to steam until desired temperature is

reached. Place a hand under the pitcher to feel the change in temperature. Once

the bottom is warm enough to feel uncomfortable, optimal temperature is achieved.

2. Large bubbles can be broken into smaller bubbles by light tapping of the milk

pitcher on the edge of the counter.

NOTE: To heat up milk, you want to position the steam wand lower into the pitcher to

prevent air from entering the milk and creating bubbles. This will result in a steamed

milk with a smaller head of foam.
