water reservoir, using another receptacle to
fill the container.
Q

CAUTION:
If
the water reservoir is
empty and the pump is running, you
will hear a very distinct noise, which is
louder than the normal operating
sound. If this happens, turn the
machine off. Check water reservoir and
refill as needed. Never let the pump
run when the water reservoir is empty,
as this can damage the pump.

Set the pump switch to the “off” position
and turn the unit “on” (figures 6
&
7).
Both indicator lights will illuminate. When
the yellow indicator light goes out, the unit
is ready for use.
Remove the filter holder from the
appliance. Choose the desired filter
basket which is required for making one
or two cups of espresso and insert into
filter holder (see figure 10).
Depending on which filter basket you have
chosen, add one measuring spoon of
espresso coffee for each cup of espresso
that you are preparing (figure
11).
-The one cup filter basket only requires
one KRUPS measuring spoon of espresso
coffee.
-The two cup filter basket only requires
two KRUPS measuring spoons of
espresso coffee.
Gently press (tamp) the coffee into the
filter holder using the bottom of the
measuring spoon (see figure
121,
and
ensure that any loose coffee remaining
on the outer edges are removed (see
figure
13).
Insert the filter holder back into the
machine by raising it up at a 45 degree
angle and turning it to the right, until
the filter holder is locked into place
(see figure 14).
Place a cup which has at least a 2-2.5 oz.
capacity underneath the filter holder spout.
If you are preparing more than one cup of
espresso, be sure to position two cups
under the brewing spouts. When preparing
cappuccino you will need a cup that has at
least a 5 oz. capacity.
n
As soon as the yellow thermostat light
goes out, set the pump switch to the
B
position,(see
figure 15).
When the desired amount of espresso has
been brewed, turn the pump switch back to
the off position. Remove the cup from under
the filter holder.
To remove the coffee from the filter basket,
remove the filter holder from the machine
by grasping the filter holder and turning to
the left, until it dislodges.
H Dispose of used coffee in a waste
receptacle (see figure
161,
using the
thumb guard to hold the filter basket in
place.
Reinsert the empty filter holder back into the
machine to keep it warm.
If you wish to continue making espresso,
disregard the yellow thermostat light. It
simply indicates that the thermostat is
regulating the temperature.
In addition to preparing espresso, you can
also use your “Espresso Vivo” to froth milk
for cappucino. Cappucino reportedly takes
its name from the chocolate hues of the
robes worn by the Capuchin monks who
favored this delicious desert coffee. While
cappuccino is traditionally made up of
espresso and frothed milk, it can be tailored
to one’s own taste with cinnamon, sugar,
chocolate flakes, or even liquor. Its
versatility makes cappucino a world-wide
gourmet choice.
As long as your “Espresso Vivo” is turned
on and the water reservoir is properly filled,
you can use the steaming feature. There is
no need to prepare espresso before using
this steaming feature.
For best results, you should use the “Perfect
Froth” attachment.
