How to make cappuccino

1.Prepare espresso coffee, using cups that are large enough for cappuccinos

2.Turn the selector knob to the position (fig. 15) and wait until the “OK” light comes on (fig. 7) to indicate that the boiler

has reached the ideal temperature for producing steam.

3.Meanwhile, fill a heat resistant container/jug with approximately 3fl. oz. of milk for each cappuccino.The milk should be cooled from the refrigerator and semi-skimmed as this gives the best results. In choosing the container, bear in mind that the volume of the milk will increase by 2 or 3 times.The ideal container to use is a stainless steel jug.

4.Position the container with the milk in it under the milk frother (fig 16).

5.Immerse the steam nozzle about 5 mm deep into the milk and turn the steam release knob in an anti-clockwise direction (fig. 17) (by turning the knob to a greater or lesser extent, it is pos- sible to vary the quantity of steam that comes out from the nilk frother). At this point, the milk will begin to increase in volume and to appear frothy.

6.When the volume of milk has doubled, immerse the steam noz- zle and continue heating the milk. Once the desired tempera- ture has been reached (the ideal temperature is 60°C or when the stainless steel jub is too hot to touch comfortably), stop the steam by turning the steam release knob in a clockwise direc- tion and at the same time positioning the selector to the “O” off position (fig. 14).

7.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso

coffee.Your cappuccino is now ready. Add sugar to taste and, if desired, sprinkle a little powdered chocolate or cinnamon on top of the froth.

Note: to prepare more than one cappuccino, first make all the cof- fees then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the cappucci- nos.

IMPORTANT: always clean the milk frother and steam nozzle immediately after use. Proceed as follows:

1.Discharge a little steam for a few seconds by rotating the steam knob (fig. 17).

2.Wait several minutes for the steam tube to cool down. Unscrew the milk frother by rotating clockwise (fig. 18) and wash thoroughly with warm water.

3.Make sure the three holes in the milk frother shown in fig. 19 are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.

4.Clean the steam tube, taking care to avoid burns.

5.Screw the milk frother back in place.
