Cappuccino, Make sure the overflow grid is in place

4.To insert the filter holder, line up the arrow located on the thumb guard of the filter holder with the arrow on the left side of the machine.

Raise the filter holder up into brewing head and turn the filter holder firmly to the right, until it can go no further. The arrow on the filter holder should be as far right in the lock-range as possible. If the arrow ist not at least in the middle of the lock-range, do not operate the machine. Rather, remove the filter holder and reinsert it as described above until the arrow is within the lock-range

(see figure 4).

By following this procedure this will prevent the filter holder from being dislodged as pressure builds up during the brewing process.

5.Open the hinged lid and unscrew the boiler cap by turning it counterclockwise (see figure 5 + 6).

6.Fill the boiler container with cold water using the markings indicated on the glass carafe (see figure 7).

CAUTION

Never fill the boiler while your “Il Caffè Duomo” is switched on.

Never fill more than 20 oz of water into the boiler.

The glass carafe has markings for 2 and

4 cups:

2 cups of water = 2 cups of espresso

3 cups of water = 2 cups of espresso, plus steam for frothing milk for cappuccino

4 cups of water = 4 cups of espresso. Maximum capacity to the bottom of the metal band around the glass carafe = 4 cups of espresso, plus steam for frothing milk for cappuccino.

CAUTION:

Never fill the carafe above the bottom of the metal band!

NOTE

It is very important to fill only the amount of water you need into the boiler. Your “Il Caffè Duomo“ will always need to process all the water until the boiler is empty.

7.Close the boiler cap securely by turning it clockwise (see figure 8). Place carafe lid on carafe so that the lid opening points towards the pouring spout of the carafe (see figure 9).

8.Place carafe under the filter holder (see figure 10).

ATTENTION:

Make sure the overflow grid is in place.

9.Should you choose to make espresso directly into two cups, clip the two cup adapter onto the filter holder and make sure that the cups are placed correctly underneath the spouts

(see figure 11 + 12).

10.Turn the espresso “on/off“ switch (h) “on“ (see figure 13).

It will take approximately 2 minutes for the water to be heated. The water will then be forced through the ground coffee into the glass carafe or cups.

11.Wait until all the water in the boiler has been used. Switch off the machine.

12.Do not unscrew the boiler cap while the machine is in operation. Wait until brewing cycle is completed and all water and steam has been used

(See CAUTION - PRESSURE).

CAUTION:

Use caution when removing the filter holder, as the metal parts may still be hot. To remove the filter holder, turn the filter to the left, past the ”lock” markings, until the holder dislodges from the machine.

Cappuccino

Cappuccino reportedly takes its name from the chocolate hues of the robes worn by the Capuchin monks who favored this delicious dessert coffee. Cappuccino is traditionally made up of 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 froth and can be tailored to one’s own taste with cinnamon, sugar, chocolate flakes, or even liquor. Its versatility makes cappuccino a worldwide gourmet choice.
