HOW TO FROTH MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTE

The Breville Café Roma comes complete with a frothing attachment for easier frothing of milk. The first step in making a cappuccino/latte is to make a short espresso (see "Brewing Coffee"). Then:

1.Fill the stainless steel frothing jug 13 full with cold milk.

2.As soon as the orange ‘heating’ light turns off, plunge the steam wand into jug of milk so that the main head of the froth enhancer is immersed into the milk.

3.Set the Selector Control to the ‘STEAM’ position.

4.Gently move the frothing jug in a circular motion around the froth enhancer.

5.When the milk has begun to increase in volume, immerse the froth enhancer deeper into the milk to further heat the milk.

6.The amount of froth desired may vary by individual. The stainless steel frothing jug will gradually become hot; be sure to hold the handle or use a towel to avoid a hot jug. Once the froth is to your liking switch the Selector Control to the ‘Off’ position to stop the steaming function before removing the jug. This will ensure that you don’t burn the milk.

7.Add the steamed milk to each cup of freshly brewed espresso coffee and spoon on the frothed milk in the following ratios:

Cappuccino

13 espresso, 13 steamed milk, 13 frothed milk

Latte

13 espresso topped with steamed milk and approximately 4" (10cm) of frothed milk (traditionally served in a glass)

Alwaysensurethatthefrothing attachment has been firmly pushed onto the steam wand.

For best results use fresh cold milk (light milk will froth easier).

Always clean the steam wand and froth enhancer after every use(refertocareandcleaning).
