4. BEFORE INITIAL USE
Carefully unpack your Capresso mini-s and remove all packing materials. Wipe
the machine with a damp cloth. Clean the filter holder, the basket and the
carafe with water and wipe dry. The filter holder, the basket, the glass carafe
and lid are dishwasher safe (upper rack, away from any heating element).
Caution: Do not immerse the machine in water or any other liquid. The boiler
cap is not dishwasher safe. Make yourself familiar with the various parts: insert
the basket into the filter holder and insert the filter holder into the machine.
Open and close the boiler cap. Make sure the cord is guided in the back slot
so that the machine sits firmly and flat on an even surface.

5. HELPFUL HINTS
• Espresso Drink: An espresso is a far richer drink with a more intense taste
• Espresso Drink: An espresso is a far richer drink with a more intense taste
than regular brewed drip coffee. An espresso is normally 1 1/2 oz. of strong
coffee. Espresso should be served immediately after brewing. Add a little bit
of sugar. If the taste is too strong you can always add a little bit of hot water.

• Preparing espresso is different than preparing regular drip coffee. The mini-s
works under pressure, bringing the water to a boil and then forcing it through
the ground coffee in a short period of time.
the ground coffee in a short period of time.
• Important: The water in the steam/boiler of the mini-s will get hotter and hotter
during the brewing process. Towards the end of the brewing process the
water will be so hot that it would burn your espresso. Therefore you never
want to process all the water through the coffee as this will result in a burnt
taste (see the video).

• Which Coffee? Any coffee labeled "espresso" is suitable for your mini-s.
Also any coffee with at least 80% Arabica beans is ideal for espresso prepa-

ration. Check with your local coffee store.
• Which Grind? Steam boiler espresso machines, such as the mini-s, do not
require a fine espresso grind. For maximum flavor and aroma we recommend
a medium espresso grind or a fine drip grind. If you grind your own coffee we
recommend using a burr or disk/burr grinder. Small blade grinders can create
"coffee dust". Coffee dust can dramatically slow down the water flow during
brewing resulting in bitter and overheated coffee taste.
