NEWBIE Info REQ: La Leonessa Extravpor Espresso Machine

Hi All, My mother in-law unearthed this machine she used once and was going to throw it away so I asked to try it out first. The pump works ( audibly pumping), the steam spout blows really hot and froths/heats milk. I could not however get it to give up any coffee. ( Likely my inability to figure out the buttons) There are 4 buttons on the panel.

1- On/OFF 2- picture of two coffee cups 3- spout with drops of water below it 4- (Green button) Spout with steam coming out.

Google has not helped in finding brand name or website, it is a 110V, 1100watts, 60HZ according to a sticker on the bottom of the machine.

How do I work this thing? any rule of thumb steps? after turning it on which buttons do I use and when? All help is welcome and thanks for your patience with my newbie request.

Paul

green button provides steam in steam tube spout with ddrops of water---provide hot water say for tea button with coffee cups--thats fro making coffee

remember to try to use distilled water in this thing as minerals rapidly build up and can make it in operable

use of citric acid ( white vinegar does not cut it but it can cut down on tehe deposits) is the best--if you have a strong cheistry background you can use very diluted muriatic acid--but only with chemistry background
