Place one or two espresso cups on the drip plate (10) to line up with the spouts of the filter holder. Depress hot water/brew switch (3) to “I” position. Espresso will start to flow into cups.

When cups are 3/4 full, release brew switch to “0”.The more water you allow to flow, the weaker the coffee. When properly made, the espresso will have a light brown foam “crema” floating on the top. If not, refer to Troubleshooting Hints. Remove cups and serve.

Preparing cappuccino:

When preparing to make cappuccino, have all of the ingredients at hand as well as a frothing pitcher (or mug) half- filled with skimmed or low-fat milk and cups that are larger (6 oz.) than those used for espresso.

Frothing Milk:

Which kind of milk?

The less fat content in the milk the denser the froth will be. Skimmed or low-fat (2%) milk will provide a thick foam. With regular milk the froth will quickly collapse. The Turbo-Frother will give you all the froth required but don’t let milk come to a boil. Let frothed milk stand for about 30 seconds before spooning in onto the espresso.

It may require two or three tries to “become an expert” but you will be successful at frothing milk if you give it a chance. Swivel the Turbo-Frother steam nozzle slightly outward so that you can get the frothing pitcher under the nozzle without hitting the base of the machine.

1.Make espresso (in a large cups) as described above.

2.Depress steam switch (4) td “I”.

3.After 10 to 15 seconds or, when temperature ready-light (3a) goes on, place the frothing pitcher halffilled with low-fat milk under Turbo Frother steam nozzle so that tip iS just under the surface of the milk. See Fig:A.
