ADDING WATER OR MILK

FROTHING FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ

A traditional cappuccino consists of an espresso with steamed milk topped with a 1 cm thick milk froth. A latté comprises the same ratio of espresso to milk, but all the milk is frothed to create a more velvety texture.

1.Prepare your espresso as shown previously.

2.Before using the steam wand (14), remove the filter holder (7) from the brewhead (6).

3. Make sure the machine is on and that the Steam /Water selector (13) is set to the steam setting.

4.The temperture indicator light (12) will go out when the correct tempurture for frothing has been reached.

4.Put the froth nozzle (16) on the end of the steam wand. It needs a firm push to locate it in place.

5.Swing the steam wand to the side of the machine.

6.Pour cold milk into a stainless steel jug. Use about

100 ml or a quarter of a mug for each cappuccino or latté. For best results, use fresh milk taken from the fridge. It is easier to make froth using cold skimmed or semi-skimmed milk; full fat milk won't produce as much froth, nor will it last as long.

7. Place the jug under

the steam wand so that the head of

the froth nozzle is just under the surface of the milk.

8. Turn the control knob (5) to the steam position. You

will hear the pump

operating; this is quite normal. The

steam wand will start

to force steam through the milk.

10.Hold the jug at an angle and slowly raise and lower the nozzle into the rising froth by moving the jug up and down.

11.If the milk starts producing large bursting bubbles it means that it has reached 79°C and is boiling. It will not froth at this temperature.
