Jura Capresso E9, 64701R2 Heating and Frothing Milk, Ready Heating Steam Ready 60 SEC Close TAP

13. FROTHING and STEAMING

The steam function can be used to heat up any liquid and to steam and froth milk.

Steaming Position:

The Frother's metal cylinder is in the UP position (Fig. 16). In the steaming position hot steam is injected into the milk (or any other liquid) without creating a frothy layer on top.

Typically a Latte has steamed milk with no froth.

Frothing Position:

The Frother's metal cylinder is in the DOWN position (Fig. 16). In the frothing position hot steam and air is injected into the milk creating warm milk and a firm layer of tiny froth bubbles.

14. HEATING AND FROTHING MILK

READY – HEATING - STEAM READY - 60 SEC - CLOSE TAP

•Push the Steam button (Fig. 3g). Display shows HEATING.

•Add cold milk to a pitcher or a cup.

•After 15 to 30 seconds the display shows STEAM READY.

•Immerse the tip of the frother into the milk (Fig 17&18) and turn the Steam/Water Selector to the Water/Steam Symbol. Hot steam will be injected into the milk. The display shows how long steam will be forced through the frother, 60 SEC.

•At this time you can change the steam output from 3 and 120 seconds. The machine will remember your last setting. When the selected steam time is up, the display shows SHUT TAP.

•Turn the Steam/Water Selector to the cup symbol. If you need more steam turn the Selector back to the water/steam symbol. Please note: You can always stop the steam output by turning the Steam/Water Selector to the cup symbol.

Please note: When you start steaming, some hot water will push out of the nozzle before the steam begins. When frothing a lot of milk this will not change the taste of your frothed milk. You can also release this small amount of hot water into the tray or into a separate container:

•Turn the Steam/Water Selector to the Water Symbol for one second and then back to the Cup symbol. Now start frothing/steaming.

Please note: When you stop the steam output the display will show STEAM READY for the next 20 seconds. Within this time you can continue to use the steam function.

If you want to steam at a later time you must first press the Steam button (Fig. 3g).

Tips for frothing (Cappuccino):

The tip of the frother should not touch the bottom of your pitcher. Start in the steaming position – cylinder "up" (Fig. 16) – for a few seconds. Then push the cylinder "down". Milk froth will build up. This way the froth on top of your milk is also warm.

Hotter milk? If the frothed milk is not warm enough, continue in the steaming position.

Steaming and frothing directly in your cappuccino cup:

With practice, you can steam and froth directly in your cappuccino cup. First steam and froth the milk, then add your espresso shot.

Please note: The less fat content the milk has the more froth will be created. Skim milk will produce the most froth and will let you taste more of the coffee. 1% and 2% milk will give you less froth. Regular whole milk (3% fat) will produce the least amount of froth. You can also use soy milk.
