...the Espresso Machine
f. Can I fill other liquids into the
water tank, such as milk or
sweetened water?
• No, you will destroy the pump and
the Thermoblock system.
g. Can I use distilled water?
• Yes, although distilled water is free
of important minerals and may give
your coffee a different taste. You can
also use "reverse osmosis" water.
h. Can I use the machine overseas
with a converter?
• We do not recommend it. The
machine is designed for 120 volts/
60Hz. Other voltage and Hz cycles
might damage the machine. Also,
Capresso's warranty covers the
United States only (see chapter 23).
i. Can I send the machine to another
country with 120-volt/60Hz con-
figuration?
• Yes, but in case the machine needs
service the transportation costs will
not be covered by Capresso. Our
warranty is limited to the United
States (see chapter 23).
j. I have a small grinder with a
blade. Can I use this grinder to
grind my coffee for this machine?
• Try it. In most cases blade grinders
will create too much "coffee dust".
It will clog the fine holes in the
sieve. The water will not be able to
pass through the coffee. A burr
grinder gives you a more consistent
grind (chapter 8).
k. How long can I leave the
machine on?
• The EspressoClassic is in standby
when not in use. You can leave it
on all day long.
