k. Raise the lever and turn the knob counter clockwise until the funnel is in front of the machine again (fig 8). You are now ready to make more espresso. (While turning the caro- usel the used coffee is automatically thrown into the internal used coffee container).

11.MAKING CAPPUCCINO (frothing milk)

Attention: When using the frother in the steam position, never turn on the pump.

Which kind of MILK? Always start with cold milk. Skim milk (0% fat) will produce the most froth and will let you taste "more" of the espresso. 1% or 2% milk will give you almost as much froth as skim milk. Regular milk (3% fat) will produce half the froth of skim milk and will taste very rich.

Frothing

Tip: For a novice it is easier to froth with a bit more milk. You will not waste any milk since you can re-use it again later. With practice you will be able to froth small amounts of milk.

a. Use a 12 oz. or 16 oz. pitcher.

b. Fill the pitcher with 6 to 8 oz. of cold milk (this will yield enough hot milk and froth for two to three cups of cappuccino).

c. Place the pitcher next to the frother.

d. Prepare your espresso as described above (you might want to brew the espresso directly into your cappuccino cups.) Turn the pump switch off and wait until the yellow thermostat light turns off.

e. Now immerse the frother into the pitcher (with the cylinder pushed down) (see fig. 10) with the tip of the frother completely immersed in the milk (see fig. 11). The frother should not touch the bottom of the pitcher.

f.Now turn the selector switch to the steam symbol (fig. 12b). Frothing

will start within 10 seconds. After

40 to 60 seconds you should have plenty of froth and hot milk. To stop frothing, turn the selector switch back to the spout symbol, then remove the pitcher and set it aside for a few seconds for the froth to settle.

Tip: If you like your milk extra hot, first steam the milk for about 10 to 15 sec- onds by pulling the cylinder of the frother up (see fig. 10), then push it down and frothing starts immediately.

Caution: If the milk starts boiling, im- mediately stop frothing by turning the selector switch back to the spout sym- bol (fig 12.) Boiling milk will not pro- duce any froth. Next time use more cold milk to avoid boiling.

Not enough steam?

The steam output will stop abruptly after 80 to 90 seconds. If you need more steam at this time proceed as follows:

•Make sure the lever is in the closed position.

•Turn the selector switch to the spout symbol and turn the pump on.

•As soon as some water comes out of the spout, turn the pump switch off again. This will take only 15 to 20

seconds.

•When you then turn the selector switch to the steam symbol, you will

have 80 to 90 seconds of uninter- rupted steam again.

12.MAKING CAFE LATTE (steaming milk)

Attention: When using the frother in the steam position, never turn on the pump.

Follow the steps for espresso and cappuccino above. Since you do not want to froth the milk, just make sure that the cylinder of the frother is moved up (see fig. 10).

Attention: The steaming noise will increase as the milk gets hotter. Stop steaming before the milk starts boil- ing. Always remember to turn the
