Element 2: Coffee  
CONTENTS  
While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the  
flavor should be from the coffee. To achieve the  
same great quality of coffee you receive at a  
café, you need to use the same quality beans.  
If you choose to grind your own beans, buy the  
beans fresh and whole, only about a two-week  
supply at a time for maximum freshness. Once  
the coffee bean is broken, its flavor degrades  
very quickly. If it is not practical to buy smaller  
supplies, we recommend you separate larger  
amounts of beans and store them in airtight  
containers in a cool, dry area. They should not  
be kept for longer than 1 month as flavor will  
diminish. Do not refrigerate or freeze coffee  
beans

Element 3: grind  
INTROdUCTION  
The grind of the coffee is critical for proper  
flavor extraction. If using a pre-ground coffee,  
be sure to purchase an espresso grind that is  
specifically for espresso/cappuccino machines.  
If the grind is too fine, over extraction and  
bitterness will occur with a spotted and uneven  
crema on the top. If the grind is too coarse, the  
water will pass through too rapidly and  
Congratulations on the purchase of your new  
Cuisinart® Espresso Maker! You’re only minutes  
away from experiencing the rich, flavorful  
espresso found in the world’s best cafés, right  
in your own home. Please take a few moments  
to discover the features of your new espresso  
maker, including the double-shot option, and  
be sure to enjoy every espresso, cappuccino  
and latte to come!  
there will be an inadequate amount of  
crema on the top of the espresso.  
Element 4: Tamping the Coffee grounds  
THE QUEST fOR  
THE PERfECT CUP  
Of ESPRESSO  
If you choose to use ground espresso instead  
of pods, tamping the coffee is a very important  
part of the coffee making process. Use the  
scoop supplied to fill the filter basket, then using  
the tamping tool (flat end of the measuring  
scoop), tamp (press down) down the grounds  
with moderate pressure. Add more coffee and  
tamp again if necessary to bring coffee to level.  
Do not overfill the filter basket. The ground  
coffee should be tamped with moderate  
pressure. If the coffee is not tamped securely,  
there is a chance that the water will flow through  
the coffee too rapidly and the coffee will be  
under-extracted. Note: If the coffee is tamped  
too firmly, the water will flow through the  
coffee too slowly and the coffee will be  
over-extracted.  
It is generally agreed that there are four basic  
elements critical to the perfect cup:  
Element 1: Water  
When brewing espresso, make sure the water  
flows through the filter at the correct pace.  
The water flow can be adjusted by varying  
the pressure with which the coffee is tamped  
(pressed down) in the filter or by altering the  
grind of the coffee. If the speed of the water  
flow is too slow, the coffee will be over-  
extracted and will be very dark and bitter, with  
a spotted and uneven crema (froth) on the top.  
If the speed of the water flow is too fast, the  
coffee will be under-extracted and the supreme  
flavor will not develop. The coffee will be  
diluted and there will be an inadequate amount  
of crema on the top.  
 
18. Measuring Scoop/Tamping Tool  
Use one side as a coffee scoop and  
the other to tamp the coffee grinds  
in the filter basket prior to brewing.

Milk texturing is the steaming of milk. The steam

with the milk to form a foamy texture. As with
