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. 19) – 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. If the frothed milk is not warm enough, continue in the steaming position. Steaming and frothing directly in your cappuccino/latte cup: With practice, you can steam and froth directly in your cappuccino cup. First steam and froth the milk, then add your espresso shot.
12.2.1 CLEANING THE DUAL FROTHER PLUS
Always keep the Dual Frother Plus clean. The two side holes and the groove of the frother tip must be free of milk deposits (Fig. 21). If these parts contain hardened milk particles, it will be impossible to froth milk properly.
Fast cleaning:
READY. Place a cup underneath the frother and push the Hot Water button (Fig. 3). Let hot water run through the frother for about 3 seconds and then stop. This will flush out any small milk droplets.
Thorough cleaning of the Dual Frother parts:
•Remove the Dual Frother from the Steam Nozzle (Fig. 18) and take apart (Fig. 21)
•Soak all three parts in warm water and add a half a cap of the cappuccino cleaner liquid. Let sit for 10 minutes or overnight.
•Rinse with fresh water and assemble.
12.2.2 CLEANING THE STEAM NOZZLE (Fig. 18)
• Place a cup underneath the Steam Nozzle (the Dual Frother is
off) and let a bit of hot water run through the Steam Nozzle. Tip: If the steam nozzle is blocked by hardened milk, use a needle, toothpick or paper clip and loosen up the milk deposit. Then let some hot water pass through the Steam Nozzle.
13. USING HOT WATER
With the hot water button you can
•
•make tea,
•add hot water to an espresso to create a Café Americano,
•wet a paper towel to clean the surface and the drip tray.
The factory setting of the hot water button is 5 oz. and tempera- ture setting HOT.
You can override the volume during operation as follows.
•Place a cup underneath the frother. READY.
•Push the hot water button. Display shows WATER and then briefly HOT then WATER again.
•While water is pumped through the frother turn the rotary dial to increase (up to 15 oz.) or decrease the volume.
•You can always stop the flow of hot water by pushing any beverage button or the button inside the rotary dial.
14. WATER CARE
Water is heated inside the machine. This leads to calcium deposits forming inside the machine. The J5 works with:
• regular tap water • bottled water • distilled water.
We recommend using regular tap water or bottled water. Distilled water has no minerals and does not improve the taste of coffee. Tap water has a varying degree of water hardness (chapter 16).
Most bottled water has a low level of water hardness.
