4 This works for me: Turn on power using left lower button; allow a few moments to heat up, Green light on right side will come on when water is hot. Put one scoop of espresso-grind coffer "per shot" into metal strainer (it slides out of handle for rinsing after use). Use glass "press" to pack in loose grounds. Three scoops max gives a full charge. Harder press = stronger flavor. Then place full, packed strainer into handle. Lift handle up to receptacle, orient it to about 8 o'clock, then rotate it counterclockwise about 1/4 turn to 6 o'clock. Place coffee cup under strainer. Push right upper button & pump will force hot water through strainer & out comes one shot after about 12 seconds. Green light will go off. Immediately push the upper button to turn off pump so it doesn't force cooling water through strainer. Wait about 15 seone until green light comes on again, indicating that water is hot again. After about 1/2 minute green light reappears. Push button again for second "shot'. Push up to 3 times (once for each shot you have put into strainer. If you want to heat hot milk or cream, push the lower button to heat water for steamer. When green light is on, place container w/milk a little below the metal steam tube which rotates out from above. Hold tip just 1/2 inch into milk. Rotate the knob on the LEFT SIDE of the unit, until hot steam comes out. When milk is hot enough, stop steaming by turning knob other direction. Wipe off steamer tip immediately w/damp rag. Pour into coffee. Steaming will also reheat coffee if you wish. Be sure to turn off left front power button when finished. All this sounds complicated but after doing it 2-3 times, it's simple & takes about 2 minutes, start-to-finish. I don't use steamer ever, choosing to just add 1/2 & 1/2 to espresso, then reheat in microwave. I make 3 shots for a conventional full cup, using a LOT of milk or half & half. Be sure you have added water through the upper lid before turning on anything. It holds about 1 quart water, & lasts a long time, but heater won't come on if it's too low. Makes great dependable espresso every time, but the quality of coffee you use, and the proper grind (espresso) is critical. If you are using traditional Colombian U.S. destined product, don't waste your time. Slide out strainer with each use, use a fork to dislodge used grounds, then rinse off strainer. Total time when experienced-about 2-3 minutes depending on amount of scoops / shots.
