Making Cappuccino

A cappuccino is an espresso coffee with a froth topping made by heating milk.

• Fill a heat resistant container/jug with approximately 3 fl.oz. of cold milk for each cappuccino or refer to the table (page 10). The milk should be cold from the refrigerator and semi- skimmed as this gives the best results.When choosing the con- tainer bear in mind that the volume of milk will increase 2 or 3 times.

1 Follow the steps 1-10 in the paragraph "Making Espresso Coffee".

Note that the amount of water needed to make 2 cups of cap- puccino is greater than that required for 2 cups of normal cof- fee as it is also necessary to produce the steam to froth the milk.

2 Place the steam nozzle in the milk ensuring that the nozzle opening is just under the surface of the milk, as shown in fig. 13 and open the steam valve by turning the steam knob anti-clock- wise.

3 Move the jug up and down under the steam nozzle as in fig. 14 (this will give maximum froth).

4 Froth the milk until there is sufficient froth, then turn the steam knob clockwise to close the steam valve.

steam after using the appliance by slowly turning the steam knob which will release the residual steam.
