Its use.  
3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the exten-  
sion cord must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. The resulting  
extended cord must be arranged so that It will not drape over the  
counter top or table top where It can be pulled on by children or

Introduction  
Congratulations! You are the owner of a Details by Mr Coffee model ECM7 Steam Espresso/  
Cappuccino Maker. This unique appliance has been designed to provide you with an excellent  
tasting cup of espresso or cappuccino quickly and conveniently.  
Espresso is a unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through  
finely ground espresso coffee. Popular in Europe, it is a far richer and more full-bodied  
brew than regular American coffee. Because of its richness, espresso is usually served  
in l-1 /2 to 2 ounce portions, in demitasse cups.  
Most espresso drinkers outside Europe prefer cappuccino  
a
drink made of about one-  
third espresso, one-third hot milk and one-third f oam milk. Preparing espresso or  
cappuccino is very different than brewing regular automatic drip coffee.  
To ensure your safety and long life of this appliance, please read all instructions, cautions,  
notes, and attentions.

The coffee should be freshly ground, dark roasted variety. You may want  
to try a French or ltalian roast. Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavor  
for 7-8 days, provided it is stored In an air tight container, In a cool, dark  
area. Do not store in refrigerator or freezer.  
Whole beans are recommended, to be ground Just before use. Coffee  
beans stored In an alr tight container will keep up to 4 weeks before they  
begin to lose their flavor.  
The Grind  
Having the right grind is vital to making a good cup of espresso. The cof-  
fee musl be ground fine, but not too fine.  
The correct grind should look gritty, like salt or sand.  
If the grlnd is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even  
under pressure. This grind looks like powder and feels like flour when  
rubbed between fingers.  
If the grlnd Is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too fast,  
preventing a full flavored extraction.  
Be sure to use a quality grinder or mill for uniform consistancy In your  
espresso grind. Oval shaped coffee mills are not recommended because  
the grind is not consistant. We recommend using the Mr. Coffee Burr  
Mill.

How to Make Cappuccino  
Cappuccino is espresso topped with steamed milk. This pump style  
mach ine has ample pressure to make perfect froth. However, It may

take a few times before you aid frothing like a “pro’  
couraged if It is not perfect the first time.  
For best results, we recommend frothing the milk in a separate pitcher  
and pouring the milk into your coffee. The milk and pitcher should be  
cold. Do not use  
a
pitcher which has just been washed in warm water.  
Whenpreparing cappuccino, we recommend having all Ingredients on  
hand.  
1. The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso. Therefore,  
fill to the top of the water reservoir (29 ounces capacity and place

motion around the steam nozzle. Because warm  
milk does not froth, the milk should be frothed from  
just below the surface.

When the milk has doubled in volume, insert the  
steam nozzle farther down into milk to further heat the  
milk. To avoid splatlering of hot milk, do not lift the  
steam nozzle above the surface of the milk until the  
steam selector control knob is in the OFF position.  
After the milk is frothed, set the pitcher aside and  
allow the milk .to settle.

Cleaning Yo u r Espresso  
/
Cappuccino  
I. Unplug the appliance power cord.  
2. After the machine has cooled down, remove the filter holder from the  
brew head. CAUTION: the metal parts of the filter holder might still  
be very hot Also there may be hot water floating on the top of the  
filter basket. Hold the filter holder steady. Using the filter retainer clip  
to secure the filter basket in the filter holder, turn the filter holder upside  
down to empty. Rinse the filter basket and holder with cold water.  
3. Clean brew head by wiping away coffee grounds that may be stuck to  
the brew head. (the underside area of the machine where the filter hold-  
er rests securely.)  
4. The filter holder, filter basket, and drip tray can be washed with soapy  
water or placed on the top rack only of your dishwasher.  
CAUTION: Do not Immerse machine In water.  
5. Always empty the water tank of any water between uses.  
6. Wipe housing with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or  
scouring pads as they will scratch the finish.  
7. Do not store the filter holder in the brew head. This can adversely affect  
the seal between the brew head and the filter holder while brewing  
espresso.  
Deliming  
Mineral deposit build-up in the espresso maker will affect the operation of the  
machine. Your espresso maker must be delimed when you begin to notice  
an increase in the time to brew espresso, or when there is additional steam-  
ing. Also, you will notice a build up of while deposits on the surface of the  
brew head.  
The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of the water used.  
The following table gives the suggested cleaning Intervals.  
SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL  
Clenning Frequency  
every 80 brew cycles  
every 40 brew cycles  
Type of Water  
Soft Water  
Hard Water  
Your espresso maker may be delimed using white household vinegar.  
Follow steps 3-8 on pages 10-11.  
I. Make sure the steam selector control knob is in the OFF position and  
that the plug is disconnected from the electrical outlet.  
2. If the machine is cool pour 29 ounces of undiluted white household  
vinegar into the water reservoir.  
3. Place water reservoir back into the machine.  
 
4. lnsert the filter holder into the brew head and place a mug on the drip  
tray. Do not fill filter holder with coffee.  
5. Plug the machine into the electrical outlet and turn the on/off switch  
ON.  
6. Place a cup with cold water under the steam nozzle. Submerge the  
tip of the steam tube in the water. Slowly turn the selector control  
knob to the On position. After a few seconds close the steam nozzle  
by turning the selector control knob to the OFF position. This will  
clean any residue left in the nozzle from frothing milk. Next turn the  
brew switch to the CUP position. Vinegar will begin to flow through  
the filter. Let this process continue until the vinegar in the water  
reservoir reaches the minimum line on the water reservoir.  
7. When all the vinegar has been pumped out to the minimum level of  
the water reservoir, turn the brew switch to the “0” OFF position and  
turn the on/off switch to OFF. Allow the machine to cool. Empty the  
remaining vinegar from the water reservoir by lifting the lid and  
removing the water reservoir. Pour the remaining vinegar down your  
sink.

Repeat steps. 1-8 using only tap water to rise any remaining traces of  
vinegar out of the machine. Repeat this process twice, allowing the  
machine to cool and pressure to be released before repeating.
