INFORMATION

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.

• FOR BEST BREW
  When using the appliance, be sure to use espresso grounds. If grinding beans, be sure to purchase espresso beans.
• 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.

3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The resulting extended cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

POLARIZED PLUGS

This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.

If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
