Overview

Welcome to the 21st century method of espresso, the technology

of the future — The 123 Spresso.

Your new 123 Spresso is so quick to brew, so easy to prepare –

there’s no guesswork. Now you can brew true Italian espressos,

lattés, mochas, and cappuccinos with no clumsy handles or filter

baskets, no wet, messy coffee grounds to dispose of. Just pure

coffee enjoyment.

The secret of great espresso is to start with superb coffee. Your

123 Spresso includes a supply of single-use pods. Each pod

brews one shot of pure, dark-roasted Arabica coffee. This coffee

has been custom-roasted by Malongo Rambouts, a century-old

European coffee roaster known for outstanding coffees.

Before First Use

Your machine was hand tested before shipping to ensure that it

functioned correctly. Before using for the first time, run the machine

once without coffee to rinse it out. To do so:

1. Plug the machine into a 120V ~ 60 Hz outlet.

2. Fill the Water Tank with 16 ounces of fresh water.

3. Replace the Water Tank to its original position, making sure it is

properly seated on the machine.

4. Close the Lid on the top of the Water Tank.

5. Place a heat resistant container or cup (approximately 10 ounces)

under the Coffee Spout, on top of the Cup Rest Grill.

6. Switch the machine to the “ON” position and turn the Temperature

Switch to the coffee cup icon.

7. After a couple of minutes

the Green “GO” Light

illuminates. Turn the

Function Selector (on

the side) to the

“COFFEE CUP”. This

starts the water flowing.

• Let approximately 2 ounces of hot water drain into the heat proof

container you placed on the Cup Rest Grill. There will be some

run-off water in the Water Overflow Tray. This is normal.

• Then turn the Function Selector back to the “NEUTRAL” position.

CAUTION: YOU MUST STOP THE WATER FLOW BY TURNING

THE FUNCTION SELECTOR TO “NEUTRAL.” THE WATER

FLOW DOES NOT STOPAUTOMATICALLY.

8. When the water stops flowing from the coffee spout, carefully

dispose of hot water in the cup and the Water Overflow Tray. Your

123 Spresso is now ready to use.

•

Filtering Water

The quality of water you use directly affects the taste of your coffee.

The better the water, the better the coffee. With 123 Spresso you can

use household tap water or spring water. Never use carbonated

water.

We’ve included a “universal” Water Filter Holder. The Holder accepts

commonly available cylinder-type filters, allowing you to use the brand

of your personal preference.

To use the Filter Holder, place it on top of the empty water tank. It fits

comfortably into the top of the tank. Add your filter. Always

follow the

filter manufacturer’s directions for use, especially when using a

fresh filter.

When you have prepared the filter and placed it into the Holder on the

Water Tank Lid, you may add water.

Again, follow the filter manufacturer’s directions. Make sure that

water has actually flowed into the tank before you start brewing.

Filter flow rates vary from brand to brand, so always check first.

IMPORTANT! You can brew

espresso shots one after

another. Always wait for the

Green “GO” Light. That’s

the signal to brew.

11. When brewing is completed, the

Coffee Pod will fall into the Used

Pod Container and 123 Spresso

will automatically set up to brew

the next coffee.

CAUTION: YOU MUST STOP THE WATER FLOW BY TURNING

THE FUNCTION SELECTOR TO “NEUTRAL.” THE

WATER FLOW DOES NOT STOPAUTOMATICALLY.

•

NOTE: If you prefer a strong, robust cup of coffee, brew one

ounce shots. If you prefer milder coffee, use more water

to suit your taste.

Let the coffee brew for approximately 10 - 15 seconds.

10. Turn the Function Selector to the “NEUTRAL” Position.

7. When the Green “GO”

Light illuminates, flip the

Function Selector (on the

side of the machine) to

“COFFEE CUP”.

MAKE SURE THE GREEN

“GO” LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED

BEFORE PLACING COFFEE

POD INTO THE MACHINE.

7. Turn the Function Selector from “NEUTRAL” to the “STEAM/

FROTH” Position.

8. The machine will automatically begin to release steam.

Prepare Cappuccinos,

Lattés, Mochas, Macchiatos

and More!

The steam function can be used to make hot milk for cafe latté or to

make froth for cappuccino.

1. Place your cup of espresso on the 123 Spresso handy Cup

Warmer. This will help keep the coffee warm.

2. Press the ON/OFF Switch to the “ON” position.

3. To prepare steam for froth, turn the Temperature Switch to

the “STEAM/FROTH” Position.

4. Slide Frothing Attachment onto Steam Nozzle as far as possible.

The Frothing Attachment fits snugly over the Steam Nozzle.

Always turn small pressure relief hole so that it is pointed

backwards, facing the machine. Swivel the frothing tube outward,

away from the machine and towards you.

Adjust the Frothing Attachment so that it fits down into a heat proof

cup or handled frothing pitcher with cold milk.

5. Fill the frothing pitcher 1/3 to 1/2 full with cold milk.

6. When the machine has heated to the correct temperature and is

ready to froth milk, the Green “GO” Light will illuminate.

Cappuccino/Coffee Drinks (continued)

9. When making froth for cappuccino, hold the Frothing

Attachment below the surface of the cold milk. Do not touch the

bottom of the pitcher with the Frothing Attachment. While frothing,

move the pitcher in a circular motion then up and down for best

results. This allows the steam to mix with air to create rich, creamy

froth. Foam should be dense with small, closely packed bubbles

for rich taste and long-lasting foam.

10. Wipe the Frothing Attachment with a clean, damp cloth.

11. To complete your cup of cappuccino, take the cup of espresso

from the Cup Warmer, pour 1 ounce of steamed milk into

espresso and spoon the froth on top of the coffee.

For the final touch, sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate

shavings, cocoa powder, etc. on top of the froth.

See Espresso Terms and Expresso Recipes in the back of this

manual.

For Best Results

• Be sure to refrigerate your coffee pods to retain the robust flavor

and rich aroma.

• The quality of water you use directly affects the taste of your coffee.

The better the water, the better the coffee. Always use fresh water.

• Clean the parts as described in Care and Cleaning Instructions peri-

odically to ensure the freshest tasting espresso.

• Always use fresh, cold skim milk or 2% milk when frothing. This will

result in wonderful froth. (Never use whole milk, cream, or half-and-

half.)

• Chill your frothing pitcher in the refrigerator before making froth.

• Make sure the frothing pitcher is metal or ceramic, never glass.

• Clean the Steam Nozzle and Frothing Attachment after each use

with a damp cloth or sponge.

• To flavor cappuccino either with mocha or with flavored syrups such

as vanilla or almond, add them directly to the brewed coffee —

NEVER TO THE COFFEE MACHINE. Add syrup to the coffee

before adding froth.
