OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE CAFÉ MODENA ESPRESSO MACHINE

4.Hold the frothing jug at an angle so that the Frothing Attachment sits just below the surface of the heating milk. The steam will move the milk around the inside of the jug in a circular motion.

5.When the milk has begun to increase in volume, immerse the Froth Enhancer deeper into the jug to further heat the milk.

6.The amount of froth desired may vary by individual. The stainless steel frothing jug will gradually become hot; be sure to hold the handle or use a towel to avoid a hot jug. When the base of the jug becomes too hot to touch, switch the Selector Control to the ‘OFF’ position to stop the steaming function before removing the jug. This will ensure that you don’t burn the milk.

7.Add the steamed milk to each cup of freshly brewed espresso coffee and spoon on the frothed milk in the following ratios:

Cappuccino

1⁄3 espresso, 1⁄3 steamed milk, 1⁄3 frothed milk

Latte

1⁄3 espresso topped with steamed milk and approximately 4” (10cm) of frothed milk (traditionally served in a glass)

NOTE:

Always ensure that the frothing attachment has been firmly pushed onto the steam wand.

For best results use fresh cold milk (light milk will froth easier).

Always clean the steam wand and froth enhancer after every use (refer to care and cleaning).

If brewing more coffee straight after using the steam function, set the selector control to the ‘espresso’ position to

run a small amount of water through the brewing head for a few seconds without the filter holder in place. This will prepare the system for optimal brewing temperature.

!THE METAL PARTS OF THE FILTER HOLDER MIGHT STILL BE VERY HOT. COOL DOWN THESE PARTS BY RUNNING UNDER COLD WATER.

!LIQUID SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN OVER THE TOP OF THE FROTH ENHANCER, OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT FUNCTION. TO AVOID SPLATTERING OF HOT MILK, DO NOT LIFT THE STEAM NOZZLE ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE MILK WHILE FROTHING. ENSURE THE SELECTOR CONTROL IS IN THE ‘STAND BY’ POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE FROTHING JUG.
