INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have selected the new and innovative
Mr. Coffee
®
Café Barista (espresso, cappuccino & latte maker). This unique
appliance has been designed to help you prepare delicious espressos,
cappuccinos and lattes quickly, conveniently, and automatically with the
touch of a button.
ESPRESSO
A unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through
finely ground coffee. Popular in Europe, it is a far richer and more full-bodied
brew than regular drip coffee. Because of its richness, espresso is usually
served in 44 to 59 mL (1.5 to 2 oz.) portions, in demitasse cups.
CAPPUCCINO
A drink made with about 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, and 1/3 frothed milk.
LATTE
A drink made with about 1/4 espresso and 3/4 steamed milk.
Please read ALL of the instructions, cautions, notes and warnings included in this
instruction manual carefully before you begin to use this appliance. When this
unit is used, some parts and accessories get hot and need to cool down. Proper
care and maintenance will ensure the long life of the MR. COFFEE
®
Café Barista
and its trouble-free operation. Save these instructions and refer to them often for
cleaning and care tips.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please follow these important safety instructions while using your unit:
1. Before removing any of the parts and accessories, make sure the unit is
not brewing or frothing.
2. Do not remove the porta-filter at any time during the brewing process.
3. Use caution when removing the porta-filter. The metal parts may still be
very hot. Also, there may be hot water floating on the top of the filter.
Hold the porta-filter only by its handle and dispose of the brewed coffee
ground by using the filter retention clip.
4. If coffee does not drip, the filter is blocked. Turn off the appliance and
allow it to cool down. The blockage may be caused by the coffee being
too finely ground. See the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section.
5. WHEN CLEANING THE FROTHED MILK DISPENSING TUBE: Place a large cup under
the tube. Using the Frothing Tube Lever, aim the Frothed Milk Dispensing Tube
towards the center of the cup. Turn the Froth Control Knob clockwise to the
clean position “ ” then press the latte/clean button for 3 seconds and release
to activate the clean function. The unit will dispense the water through the
tube for approximately 30 seconds.
NOTE: In order for your unit to work properly time after time, clean it
after every use.
