HOWTO FROTH MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ
•When the red ‘Heating’ light stops flashing,
quickly insert the Steam Wand into the jug of
milk so that the Froth Attachment is just
immersed into the milk.
•Hold the frothing jug at an angle so that the
Frothing Attachment sits just below the
surface of the heating milk and the steam will
move the milk around the inside of the jug in
a circular motion.
•When the milk starts to increase in volume,
immerse the Frothing Attachment deeper into
the jug to heat the milk.
•Hold the jug at an angle with one hand and
place your other hand on the outer base of
the stainless frothing jug.
•When the base of the jug becomes too hot to
touch, set the Selector Control to the
‘Standby’ position, stopping the steaming
function before removing the jug. Apumping
noise will sound for a short time, do not be
alarmed as there will be a five second delay
prior to the machine carrying out the Auto-
purge function.
•Pour the steamed milk into each cup of
freshly brewed espresso coffee and spoon in
the frothed milk, in the following ratios:
Cappuccino - 1/3espresso, 1/3steamed milk,
1/3frothed milk
Latté - 1/3espresso topped with steamed milk
and about 1cm of frothed milk, traditionally
served in a glass)
18 HOWTO FROTH MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ
NOTE: For brewing more coffee
immediately after using the
steam function, the 800ES
features an auto-purge function.
This ensures that ground coffee
will not be burnt by the initial
water flow from the thermoblock
that could be too hot. Instead
this water is automatically
released internally into the Drip
Tray ensuring that the internal
thermostat is at optimal
temperature for extracting
coffee. Your coffee will always
be extracted at this optimal
temperature ensuring only
the best flavoured coffee
is achieved.
NOTE: Always ensure that the
Frothing Attachment has been
firmly pushed onto the Steam
Wand and connects with the
rubber surround.
For best results use cold fresh
milk (low fat milk will froth easier)
Always clean the Steam Wand
and Frothing Attachment after
every use. Refer to Care and
Cleaning on Page 20.
WARNING: MILK SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN OVER THE TOP OF THE FROTHING
ATTACHMENT, OTHERWISE IT WILLNOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
TO AVOID SPLATTERING OF HOT MILK, DO NOT LIFT THE END OF THE FROTHING
ATTACHMENT ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE MILK
WHILE FROTHING.
ENSURE THE SELECTOR CONTROL IS IN THE ‘STANDBY’ POSITION BEFORE
REMOVING THE FROTHING JUG.
NOTE: When the 800ES is creating
steam a pumping noise can be
heard. This is the normal
operation of the 15 Bar pump.
NOTE: If steam starts coming from
the Steam Wand before it is
immersed in the milk, pause the
steam by turning the Selector
Control back to the ‘Standby’
position. This will avoid the
steam pressure blowing milk
out of the jug.
NOTE: The 800ES features a Swivel
Steam Wand assembly so
the position of the Steam
Wand can be changed to a
comfortable angle.
