PREPARING YOUR  
ESPRESSO MACHINE  
1. Put the espresso machine on a dry, stable  
countertop or other flat, sturdy surface  
where you will be using the machine.  
Single or Double Pre-Programmed  
Espresso  
1. Using the lever, open the brew head, insert  
a capsule, and close the brew head.  
IMPORTANT: For first-time use or if the  
machine has not been used for some time,  
it is important that it is rinsed as follows:  
2. Remove the lid of the water reservoir.  
Using the handle, lift the water reservoir off  
the base and fill with fresh, cold drinking  
water. Replace the water reservoir on the  
base, and cover with the lid. Using the  
tracks as a guide, slide the water reservoir  
back into position and push down firmly  
to engage.  
2. With an espresso cup on the espresso cup  
tray, select either a SHORT  
(1.5 ounces)  
or LONG (3 ounces) espresso. (The  
selected function and Hot Temperature  
setting LEDs remain on, while all the other  
LEDs are off. Once all LEDs are on again,  
the machine is ready for the next cycle.)  
Important: The unit will not function unless  
the water reservoir is properly in place.  
3. Insert the plug into a power outlet. Press  
the power button once to turn the espresso  
machine on. All of the controls on the front  
of the machine will flash while it’s pre-  
heating. Lights will turn steady when the  
unit is in ready mode (approximately  
1 minute).  
NOTE: As part of illy patented technology in the  
iperEspresso capsule, the brewing process is  
completely self-contained in the capsule and  
does not get into the brew head. So there is no  
need to rinse in between cycles as there will be  
no transfer of flavor.  
4. Make sure the drip tray and grate are in  
place.  
5. Place a mug on the drip tray.  
6. Press the Manual button and allow the  
water to run through for approximately 5 to  
10 seconds. Press once more to stop.  
Manual/Adjustable Strength Control  
Programmable  
1. Using the lever, open the brew head, insert  
a capsule, and close the brew head.  
7. Position espresso cups on the warming plate.  
8. The machine is now in preheat/ready mode  
and ready to use.  
NOTE: If the water reservoir is empty, the unit will  
not function. The Short , Long , and Manual  
LEDs will flash. Turn off the machine, fill the  
water reservoir, and turn the machine back on.  
2. For adjustable strength control, use the  
MANUAL button to adjust the length of  
time espresso is dispensing – the longer  
you allow it to flow, the

Cleaning the Water Reservoir  
TEMPERATURE  
CONTROLS  
It is normal over time for discoloration,  
spotting or staining to appear in the water  
reservoir. Results will vary depending on the  
mineral content of the bottled or filtered  
water used but will not affect the operation  
of the machine. However, be sure to clean  
the water reservoir regularly to minimize  
build-up.  
Hot is the default setting.  
If Extra Hot is desired, press  
the  
button and allow less  
than 10 seconds for the  
temperature to rise. The  
flashing light will turn steady when it has  
reached temperature.  
Clean inside the water reservoir with a damp,  
lint-free cloth as necessary.  
Energy Saver Mode  
After 30 minutes of non-use the espresso  
machine will automatically switch to sleep  
mode and all the control lights will be  
dimmed by about 50%. When any button is  
pressed, the espresso machine will return to  
Decalcification  
Mineral content in water varies from place to  
place. Depending on the mineral content of  
the water in your area, calcium deposits or

scale may build up in your machine. Though  
scale is non-toxic, it can hinder performance.  
De-scaling the machine will help maintain  
the heating element and other parts that  
come in contact with water.

Steaming/Frothing Instructions  
Espresso Breve  
American version of a latte – substituting  
half & half for milk.  
When steaming milk at home for delicious  
coffee-based drinks, always start with fresh,  
cold milk and steam only what you are going  
to use right away. For best results, we prefer  
using non-fat or skim milk, which produces  
light, voluminous foam, but feel free to  
experiment. Keep in mind that the consistency  
of the foam will vary depending on what type  
of milk is used. It is always best to froth your  
milk right before serving.

button to start  
Fill a small to medium saucepan, no more  
than halfway, with cold milk and place over  
medium heat. Heat the milk until steam begins  
rising off the surface, but no bubbles have  
formed. Remove the pan from the heat and  
using a frother or immersion blender on low  
speed, process milk until the desired amount  
of froth is produced. If you do not own an  
immersion blender, you can whip the milk by  
hand with a wire whisk, but be ready to put  
some effort into it! Pour the milk into your  
espresso or coffee, using a spoon to hold  
back the foam. Scoop foam on top and serve.  
3. When the brewing process is complete,  
pour the cream into the espresso and  
serve immediately.  
Cappuccino  
A thick layer of foam and bit of milk let the  
boldness of the coffee shine through  
in this popular drink.  
Alternately, if using a microwave, pour milk  
into microwave safe mug or container and  
heat until steam begins to rise off the milk’s  
surface (be careful milk does not boil over).  
Carefully remove from microwave and froth  
milk as described above.
