1 cup & 2 cup
Servings: 1 to 2
Servings: 1-2
Ingredients
- Finely Ground Coffee (25g for 1 cup, 40g for 2 cups), 30g output
- Hot Water (600g for 1 cup, level 6, 1.5 bar pressure, 30g output, 800g for 2 cups, level 9, 1.5 to 4 bar pressure, 50g output) in boiling chamber
- Espresso single 20 to 25g, Double Espresso 40 to 50g, Americano single shot + 100g water, Lungo single shot + 21g water
- Machiato 70ml cup, Single shot + 1:2 coffee to milk ratio, Cortado 110 ml cup, single shot + 1:4 ratio, Flat White, 190ml cup, double shot + 1:4 ratio, Cappuccino, 150ml cup single shot + 1:6 to 7 ratio, Caffe Latte Full size cup, single shot + 1:14 ratio
- Steam Milk to 60C (140F)
- subheading: Water Gauge Measurements (approx.) :
- 3 = 150mls
- 6 = 300mls
- 9 = 450mls
- subheading: Basket Weight Measurements (approx.) :
- Full = 60g
- Half = 30g
- ⅓ = 20g
- Brew Ratios of a typical espresso will range from - 1:2 - 1:3
- Brew Ratios for a typical Lungo or Moka Pot will be a 1:4 - 1:5
- Brew Ratios for a Filter style coffee will be 1:10 & upwards.
- Using the Bellman to get the best espresso recipe; I used 50g finely ground coffee and filled to just below the 3 on the water gauge for a 1:3 ratio. You can get 3 strong double espresso shots (40 ml) from this if you can keep the pressure to just below 2bars whilst brewing.
- GENERAL INFORMATION
- This Espresso & Cappuccino Coffee maker, model CX-25, is a stovetop type intended for household use only.
- This machine has a charming, classic appearance with heavy 18/8 stainless steel construction, safety valve, and heat
- resistant bakelite.
- The Espresso & Cappuccino Coffee machine makes espresso using the steam pressure method. The espresso is prepared
- by forcing live steam and hot water, under the pressure of boiling water, through dark-roast coffee grounds, extracting
- all of their pure flavor and aroma. Since boiling destroys some of the natural elements that make espresso's flavor and
- aroma, espresso connoisseurs prefer using the pressurized steam-vapor method. The remaining water is used to
- produce steam. "Cappuccino is the name for a hot coffee consisting of approximately ½ to ⅔ cup espresso and ⅓ to
- ½ cup of hot, frothed milk. You may add sugar, a light sprinkling of powdered cinnamon, nutmeg, or grated orange
- peel, or top with cream and chocolate, according to taste.
- Espresso is served in a 2-½ oz demitasse size cup.
- 9 demitasse cups equal about 15 to 17 oz of espresso.
- You can make 3, 6 or 9 cups of espresso by using the brew basket "reducer" in this machine.
- MACHINE CLEANING
- A) When it is New
- Before using for first time, rinse all parts thoroughly with hot water. No soap or scouring is necessary. After all parts
- have been rinsed, follow the directions for preparing espresso, except do not load any coffee into the brew basket. After
- the coffee valve has been steam-cleaned, close it and then open the steam valve for a few moments. This procedure may
- be repeated periodically if it appears that either of the valves have become partially blocked.
- B) Regular Cleaning
- 1) Remove coffee maker from heat source.
- 2) Open the coffee and/or steam valve, releasing all the pressure, and wait until the machine is cool.
- 3) Unscrew and remove the tightening knob.
- 4) Remove and rinse the top lid.
- 5) Take out the brew basket and reducer, if used. Discard coffee grounds.
- 6) Rinse the boiler, brew basket, and reducer with hot water. No soap or scouring is necessary, and might leave a residue
- which could affect coffee taste.
- 7) Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the surfaces, since permanent
- scratching may result.
- NOTE: For easier cleaning, clean off both the coffee and steam valves immediately after use.
Steps
- Steam milk and let rest prior to releasing coffee if you are making cappuccino
- HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO
- subheading: A) Before operating, you will need to prepare:
- 1) Clean espresso maker
- 2) Finely ground espresso coffee
- 3) Espresso cups and clean carafe
- 4) Leveling spatula
- subheading: B) Brewing procedure:
- 1) Unscrew and remove the tightening knob (A17).
- 2) Remove the top lid (A03).
- 3) Remove the brew basket (A10) and reducer (A06).
- 4) Rinse inside of the boiler, brew basket, and reducer, with hot water.
- 5) Fill water in the boiler up to the water level marking for the desired number of cups. The water level marking plate
- (009) is on the inside of the boiler (A02), attached to the safety valve (A15).
- DO NOT COVER THE SAFETY VALVE HOLE WITH WATER
- 6) If you desire 9 cups, remove the reducer from the brew basket. For 6 cups, insert the reducer, short end down, into
- the brew basket. For 3 cups, insert the reducer short end up.
- 7) Fill the brew basket (A10) with coffee up to the rim, pack it down and level it off with a spatula or spoon.
- 8) Clean off excess coffee from the brew basket rim and silicon O-ring (gasket) in order to guarantee a tight seal.
- 9) Put the brew basket (A10) onto the main shaft (A08). Make sure the O-ring is resting against the underside of the
- brew basket rim and on the boiler.
- 10) Replace the top lid (A03) onto the main shaft (A08) with the coffee valve (A12) opposite the handle.
- 11) Screw down the tightening knob (A17) clockwise as tightly as possible.
- 12) Close the steam valve (A16) by turning it clockwise.
- 13) Open the coffee valve (A12) by turning it counterclockwise.
- 14) Place a carafe under the brewing spout (326).
- 15) Place machine on the stovetop, at the highest heat that can fit under the machine, without flames coming up the
- sides.
- 16) After 3 to 10 minutes (depending on the heat source and amount of coffee being made), the water will come to a
- boil and the espresso will begin to slowly drip out from the brewing spout. The stream of espresso will become stronger
- until it is mixed with sputtering bursts of steam.
- (If you wish a stronger brew, turn off the coffee valve for 30 to 60 seconds as soon as the espresso begins to drip
- out, then reopen it to let the espresso stream out.)
- 17) Close the coffee valve when the stream of espresso has been replaced by sputtering, dripping steam.
- 18) If only espresso is desired, remove the carafe of coffee and turn off the heat. If cappuccino is desired, leave the
- heat on and allow another 3 to 5 minutes for steam to build back up.
- 19) Pour the espresso into demitasse cups for serving.
- HOW TO PREPARE CAPPUCCINO
- subheading: A) Before you begin, you will need to prepare:
- 1) Espresso
- 2) Cold whole milk (preferably extra rich)
- 3) Frothing pitcher
- 4) Cappuccino cups (regular coffee cups can also be used)
- 5) Carafe
- subheading: B) Operating procedures:
- 1) After preparing espresso, close the coffee and steam valves.
- 2) Allow the machine to continue heating for 3 to 5 minutes until the pressure in the boiler is sufficient for you to
- steam the milk.
- 3) Meanwhile, fill the pitcher with milk to the desired level, but not more than one-half, since the milk volume will
- double with steaming.
- Estimate the fill quantity through the desired serving proportions of: ½ to ⅔ espresso to ⅓ to ½ milk.
- 4) Place the pitcher under the steam tube so that the tube tip is under the surface of the milk.
- 5) Slowly open the steam valve until you get strong and steady steam.
- 6) Move the pitcher slowly from side to side, and slightly up and down. The milk with swirl and become steamy hot
- and frothy.
- 7) Continue until milk foam fills the pitcher, but do not allow milk to boil. (Producing rich milk foam can be a bit
- tricky and may require practice.)
- 8) Close the steam valve.
- 9) Remove the pitcher from the steam tube.
- 10) Remove machine from heat.
- 11) Turn off the heat source.
- 12) Clean the steam tube of any excess milk (which can clog the opening as it dries), by opening the steam valve with
- the tip facing down until all the steam has been released.
- 13) Pour ½ to ⅔ cup of espresso into each cup, adding sugar if desired. Pour in steamed milk and top off with a
- couple spoonfuls of milk froth.
- 14) Sprinkle on a dash of cinnamon, crushed chocolate, or nutmeg, and serve.
Notes
- For espresso and cappuccino, we recommend using dark roast coffee beans, generally called Italian or French Roast,
- however you might test lighter roasts to learn what suits your palate the best.
- If kept refrigerated, coffee will stay fresh for 2 to 4 weeks in an airtight glass or ceramic jar, provided it was freshly roasted
- when you bought it. Large quantities can be frozen in multiple small airtight glass or ceramic jars, then allowed to reach
- room temperature to prevent condensation before opening.
- In making the best possible cup, the coffee should be fresh and ground to the correct fineness.
- If you want to further enhance the flavor and aroma, grind the coffee immediately before preparing. The beans should
- be ground very fine, but not to a powder. Using a burr grinder will give you the most consistent results.
- Grinding the coffee too coarse and large produces watery and bitter coffee. Too fine and powdery, and it can clog the
- coffee filter. If no coffee comes out at the right time, remove from the heat source and open the steam valve to release
- the pressure before opening the lid to replace the grounds.
- Only coffee grounds and water should be used inside this machine. Other substances can clog the valves and leave a
- lasting taste in the machine.
- Clean milk off the steam valve as soon as possible, to prevent it from drying and clogging the tip. After frothing, open
- and close the valve for a couple shots of steam to clean off any milk that got inside. If it is already clogged and this
- doesn't work, wait for the machine to cool, then use a pin to clear the opening.
- CAUTIONS:
- Be very careful when opening the steam valve after heating. The hot steam can scald you.
- Only open the machine after all the steam has been released and the machine has cooled.
- Never cover the hole of the safety valve when filling the machine with water.
- Use the appropriate size burner on your stovetop, and keep the heat under the machine
