Hot water can also be dispensed from the frothing arm. This
provides a convenient way to make Americanos, tea, or hot
chocolate. Filling a demitasse with hot water is also a great way
to warm it before brewing espresso.
NOTE: Always dispense hot water into an empty container –
dispensing into a cup or pitcher containing other ingredients may
cause splattering.
1. Press the On/Off Power Switch to turn the espresso machine on.
2. Wait until the espresso machine has reached operating
temperature; this will take about 6 minutes. When the frothing
boiler temperature gauge needle climbs into the “ready” zone,
the espresso machine is ready to dispense hot water.
3. With the frothing arm pointed into an empty cup, open the
Steam Dial by turning it slowly counter-clockwise. Then press
and hold the Hot Water Button to dispense water.
NOTE: Residual frothing steam may exit the nozzle before water
dispenses. It may take several seconds for water to begin flowing
from the nozzle.
4. When the desired amount of water has been dispensed,
release the Hot Water Button and close the Steam Dial by
turning it clockwise until it stops.
