Ingredients

  • 1 measured scoop finely ground espresso or 1 espresso pod
  • 6-7ounces hot water

Preparation

  1. Press the power button of the Cuisinart® Espresso Maker to turn the machine on. The lights around the power, manual, single and double espresso buttons will illuminate and when they stop blinking, the machine has been warmed and is ready to use.
  2. Place the one-cup filter basket in the portafilter holder. Spoon the espresso grounds into the basket. Using the tamping tool, press down the grounds with moderate pressure and clean any excess from the rim. Secure the portafilter holder in place. Place a 6 to 8-ounce glass or mug on the drip tray underneath the steam wand. Turn the steam/hot water dial to the hot water setting.
  3. Allow water to flow into the cup/mug until it is about 2⁄3 full and turn dial back to off position. Place the cup/mug with the hot water already in it underneath the brew head and press the button above the single espresso button. Espresso will begin to brew. When 1½ ounces have been brewed the machine will stop.
