Before you make espresso.. .
Preparingespresso orcappuccinois different than brewing regular drip coffee. Technically, one
main difference is that the water will come to a boil and will then be forced through the ground cof-
fee. This means that an espresso machine works under pressure and needs special attention. We,
therefore, ask you to read ALL the instructions, CAUTIONS,NOTES AND ATTENTIONS.
We recommend that you get familiar with all the parts of your "IL Futuro, Jr." before operating the
machine. Begin by inserting the filter basket into the filter holder and into the brewing head.
Turn the stain knob "ON" and "OFF" and wash/dry all parts in warm, soapy water.
CAUTION - PRESSURE
NEVER open boiler cap (b) or remove the filter holder (f) while your "IL Futuro, Jr." is turned "ON"
or as long as there is pressure in the boiler container.
Please follow the instructions listed below to see ifthe machine is still under pressure. Follow
these safety precautions whileyour machine is in use and ten to fifteen minutes after last use.
1. Tum the On/Off switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the appliance.
2. Carefully open the steam release knob (c) by slowly tuming it counter clockwise. If steam comes
out of the nozzle, then the boiler container is still under pressure. Close steam knob and proceed
with instructions listed below.
3. Take a pitcher filled with cold water and hold it undemeath the steam nozzle with nozzle in-
serted into the water. Then open the steam release knob (c) by tuming it counter clockwise.
Leave steam release knob open until no more steam comes out of nozzle. When finished tum
steam knob clockwise to close.
4. Now you can carefully remove the boiler cap and filter holder.
GENUINE ESPRESSO
Espresso is a far richer and stronger brew than regular coffee. It should be deep, dark and delicious.
Most people find that they enjoy it in small quantities because of its richness, and for that reason,
espresso is usually served in small (2-2112 Oz.) demitasse cups.
The mark of real espresso is its wonderful inviting fragrance and its rich frothed topping: a light
brown, cream foam called "crema". Your "IL Futuro, Jr'-, properly used, will always produce espresso
that is deep, dark and delicious. Just follow the instructions and use fresh, well roasted, pre-ground
espresso or espresso beans you grind yourself.
GRINDING ESPESSOBEANS
If you grind your own beans and use the
KRUPS "FAST-TOUCH" (model
# 203)
or "TOUCH TOP" (model =# 208), the
approximate grindling time for 4 cups
of espresso is 8-10 seconds. Remember
espresso requires a fine grind.
