CAPPUCCINO STEP-BY-STEP: HOW TO MAKE A REAL ITALIAN CAPPUCCINO

Here’s what you need

Ground coffee

Fresh milk (should be chilled before use)

A teaspoon - Note: Cappuccino is served in 4 oz. or 5 oz. cups.

Sugar or sweetener

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the machine as described in the paragraph “How to make a perfect espresso coffee”.

Remember, if you want 2 cappuccinos, fill the carafe up to the “ ” mark. If you want 4 cappuccinos, fill to the bottom of the metal band.

Place the cups under the filter-holder.

Turn the machine ON by pressing the “Espresso/Cappuccino ON/OFF” switch.

When the desired quantity of coffee is obtained, set the flow regulator to . In this way the coffee will stop flowing.

After few minutes the “OK” pilot lamp will light to indicate that the machine has reached the correct temperature for using the “instant froth dispenser “.

In the meantime, pour the amount of milk necessary for making 1 or 2 cappuccinos into the milk container (fig. 14) For 1 or 2 cappuccinos, fill to level 1, for 3 or 4 cappuccinos, fill to level 2. (See fig. 15).

When the OK light has gone on, shift the cups containing the espresso to under the Instant Froth Dispenser tube, and gradually turn the steam knob counter-clockwise. The frothed milk will begin to flow.

When you have reached the desired quantity of cappuccino, turn the steam knob clockwise. Repeat the same procedure for a second cappuccino then switch the appliance off.

Your cappuccino is ready. Add sugar to taste and , if you like, sprinkle with a little chocolate powder or cinnamon.

After making the cappuccino, the milk container must be carefully cleaned.

We suggest that you proceed as follows:

By using the glass carafe pour the amount of water necessary for making 2 coffees, into the water tank.

Replace the cap.

Fill the milk container half-way with water.

Turn the machine ON and set the flow regulator to light.

When water begins to flow from the boiler nozzle, position the flow regulator lever to then turn the steam knob counter-clockwise after having placed a receptacle underneath the milk tube (fig. 16).

This procedure will rinse out the milk container as well as all the internal parts.

Once a week, it is best to clean the unit even more thoroughly , as follows:

Remove the milk container from the machine by pulling it upwards (fig. 17).

To clean the mixer, pull it upwards (fig. 18). Remove the rubber joint. Wash the joint and the mixer with hot water (fig. 19) or, if you prefer, wash them in a dishwasher.

Once they have been cleaned, the parts should be reassembled, taking care not to damage them or fit them incorrectly.

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, check whether there is pressure in the water tank by turning the steam knob slowly counter-clockwise.

Never remove the milk container when the steam knob is open; this could cause burns.
