14. FROTHING AND STEAMING MILK

The Impressa S9, S8 and S7 can be operated with two different frothing systems:

a)The Dual Frother-PLUS which is mounted on all machines.

b)The frothXpress-PLUS system which is included with the S9. For the S7 and S8 order this system with the enclosed order form or through our website: www.capresso.com.

Recommendation:

•If you froth for only one or two cups at a time and want 100% control over the frothing/steaming process, the Dual Frother- PLUS might be the preferred equipment. Use with the PERMANENT STEAM button (Fig. 3,M).

•If you always want the same amount of milk and milk froth in your cup or you make three, four, five or more cappuccinos in

a row the frothXpress-PLUS is definitely faster and more convenient to use. Ideally use the STEAM PORTION button.

Frothing (Cappuccino): Injecting hot steam into the milk to warm the milk and create a firm layer of tiny bubbles.

Steaming (Latte): Injecting hot steam to warm the milk without a frothy layer.
