8. Preparing Cappuccino

Cappuccino is the combination of one or two shots of espresso with an equal or larger amount of hot milk and milk froth (for Latte see chapter 10).

Always start with cold milk. Skim or Fat-free milk will produce the most froth and will provide a stronger espresso taste. 1% and 2% milk will produce less froth, and whole milk will produce less than half the amount of froth of skim milk.

a)Fill a stainless steel pitcher with 6 to 8 oz. of milk, this will provide enough froth for two to three cups of cappuccino. Make sure that there is enough space left in the pitcher for the milk and milk froth to expand.

b)First prepare your espresso (see chapter 8), but use larger, pre-heated cappuccino cups instead of espresso cups.

c)Set the function switch to the Steam position. The red heating light illuminates as the appliance is heated to steam temperature.

d)Insert and slide the frothing sleeve (Fig. 1, k) onto the

steam tube (Fig. 1, j) until it makes contact. The frothing sleeve must click into the groove.

e) Turn the frothing sleeve as far as possible to the right to lock it in place.

f) The appliance is ready to deliver steam when the green ready light illuminates.
