Your "Espressso Vivo", properly used, will always produce espresso that is deep, dark, and delicious. Just follow the instructions and use fresh, well roasted espresso beans. This will activate the pump. Upon first use, the emptY boiler will need to intake water into the boiler chamber, and You will hear a distinct initial thumping noise. As soon as water is released from the filter holder, turn the pump switch back to the "off" position to allow the unit to reach the proper temperature.

Before you make Your first cup of delicious espresso, make sure that the boiler chamber has water. It simply indicates that the thermostat is regulating the temperature. In addition to preparing espresso, you can also use your "Espresso Vivo" to froth milk for cappucino. Cappucino reportedly takes its name from the chocolate hues of the robes worn by the Capuchin monks who favored this delicious desert coffee. While cappuccino is traditionally made up of espresso and frothed milk, it can be tailored to one's own taste with cinnamon, sugar, chocolate flakes, or even liquor. As long as your "Espresso Vivo" is turned on and the water reservoir is properly filled, you can use the steaming feature. There is no need to prepare espresso before using this steaming feature. For best results, you should use the "Perfect Froth" attachment. 11 n If it is not in place, attach it now (see figure 17). KRUPS "Perfect Froth" attachment lets you froth milk perfectly for making cappuccino. NOTE: Do not bring milk to a boil (this will happen if large bubbles start forming at the surface of the milk). Do not let the "Perfect Froth" attachment touch the bottom of the pitcher. Step 4 After the milk is frothed, keep the "Perfect Froth" in the milk until the steam knob has been turned to the 0 position. Now you are ready to add the frothed milk to the already prepared espresso. Fill the remainder of the cup with the hot milk and then spoon on the froth. [. . . ] IMPORTANT: Clean the steam nozzle each time you have immersed it in milk, otherwise the inside of the nozzle becomes clogged with milk particles. Allow the steam to escape into a wet cloth for one or two seconds after frothing milk. This will flush out any milk residue. A CAUTION: Do not try to disassemble the main body of the machine. W If necessary, the steam nozzle can be removed using the hexagonal key located on the measuring spoon (see figure 21). [. . . ]
