How to Make Cappuccino

Frothing milk for cappuccino takes practice. Do not be discouraged if it is not perfect the first time. It may take a few times before you perfect this process. You will have a limited amount of time to complete the milk frothing process, therefore you will need to be prepared before you begin brewing espresso.

For best results, we recommend frothing the milk in a separate pitcher ,and pouring the milk into your coffee. However, you can also froth your milk in a cappuccino cup and then pour your coffee into the cup.

1.Fill a small stainless steel or ceramic pitcher l/3 full with cold milk or half and half and set next to machine. For best results, use skim milk.

2.	Follow steps l-5 on “Brewing Espresso.”		FIGURE 4

underneath the steam nozzle so that the tip of the nozzle is just below the surface of the milk. See figure 4.

Caution: Nozzle must be below the sur- face of the milk to prevent splashing of hot liquid.

Note: Because warm milk does not froth, the milk should be frothed from just below the surface first and then heated by insert- ing the nozzle further into the milk.

4.Rotate the selector control knob downward slowly and gently move the pitcher in a circular motion around the steam nozzle so that the steam circulates just below the surface of the milk.

When the milk has doubled in volume, insert the steam nozzle down into the milk to further heat the milk. To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not lift the steam nozzle above the surface of the milk until the steam control knob is closed. Close the steam control knob by turning it back to center matched up with indented line.

5.When the espresso has stopped flowing into the decanter, turn the power switch off at center of knob. Pour the espresso into serving cups. Then pour the hot milk into your coffee and scoop the foam on top. Cappuccino can be topped off with ground chocolate, cinnamon, or sugar.

6.Unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool. Do not remove pressure cap until the pressure in the machine has been released. See section “CAUTION-PRESSURE”.

7.Continue to follow steps 7-8 on “Brewing Espresso.”
