HO W TO MA K E C A P P U C C I N O

Cappuccino is espresso topped with steamed and frothed milk. Frothing milk for cappuccino takes practice. Do not be discouraged if it is not perfect the first time. The milk should be half steamed (bottom of pitcher) and half froth (top of pitcher). It may take a few times before you perfect this process.

For best results, we recommend frothing the milk in a separate pitcher and pouring the milk into your coffee. The milk and pitcher should be cold. Do not use a pitcher which has just been washed in warm water. We also recommend a stainless steel frothing pitcher and a beverage thermometer, if you own one, for preparing the best froth and steamed milk.

1.The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso. Therefore, fill the glass carafe with cold water to the designated marking for the desired number of servings. Never use warm or hot water to fill the water reservoir. (See Chart from “How to Brew Espresso” on Page 6)

•For 2 servings, fill the decanter with water to the midpoint between the 2 and 4 cup markings.

•For 4 servings, fill the decanter with water up to the top of the metal band.

2.Follow steps 1 – 3 in “Brewing Espresso” on Page 6.

3.Fill a small stainless steel or ceramic pitcher 1/3 full with cold milk and set next to machine. Skim or 2% milk will be the easiest to froth.

4.Rotate the control knob to the “cup” marking. The espresso will begin to flow in about three minutes. As soon as the espresso reaches the steaming symbol on the glass carafe, turn the control knob to the OFF position. At this time the unit has created enough pressure and steam to start frothing the milk. Frothing the milk before finishing the espresso prevents you from running out of steam. This can happen if you froth towards the end of the brewing process.

5.Hold the pitcher under the frothing tube so that the frothing aid is slightly immersed in the milk. Turn the control knob slowly to the “steam” position. Gently move the pitcher in a circular motion around the steam nozzle. Because warm milk does

not froth, the milk should be frothed from just below the surface. (See Figure 4)

6.When the milk has doubled in volume, or, if you are using a beverage thermometer, when the milk has reached 100°F insert the frothing aid deeper into the milk to further heat the milk.

NOT INCLUDED UNLESS

OTHERWISE NOTED

To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not let the frothing aid go above the surface of the milk. After frothing is completed, turn the control knob back to the “OFF” position. Set the pitcher aside and allow the frothed milk to settle. Turn the control knob to the “cup” position to finish making espresso.

7.When the espresso has stopped flowing into the carafe, turn the control knob to OFF. Pour the espresso into a cup which has the capacity of at least 5 ounces.

Then add the steamed milk to the espresso and spoon on the frothed milk.
