Use and Care Manual

1. The EC PRO Professional Espresso & Cappuccino Machine

Thank you for purchasing the Capresso EC PRO Professional Espresso &

Cappuccino Machine. This professional style machine includes a boiler which

will internally keep a reserve of water at the ideal temperature for brewing

which provides more consistent results. The EC PRO includes two different

portafilters: one for convenience, one for control. The high-powered professional

frothing wand can be used to create the perfect froth for cappuccinos or lattes.

For Warranty please see the end of this booklet. For accessories and parts

please contact Customer Service or order on our website: www.capresso.com

Tips for obtaining the best brew:

• Always use fresh high-quality coffee, preferably ground right before brewing.

• Use "espresso grind" coffee for pump espresso machines which is finely

ground with a similar texture to fine sugar.

• Store your coffee in a dark, airtight container and leave it in a cool place

(cabinet or pantry). Do not store coffee in the refrigerator. Only store unopened

bags of whole coffee beans in the freezer and defrost before grinding.

• Always brew espresso into a pre-warmed cup. This can be done by leaving the

cup on the warming platform or running hot water into the cup before brewing.

• Always purge the brew head and frothing wand to ensure hottest performance.

See chapter 4.

• For best flavor, drink the espresso immediately after it is made.

• Follow all cleaning, maintenance and decalcifying instructions.
