Cappuccino

Cappuccino reportedly takes its name from the chocolate hues of the robes worn by the Capuchin monks who favored this delicious dessert coffee. Cappuccino is traditionnally made up of 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 froth and can be tailored to one’s own taste with cinnamon, sugar, chocolate flakes or even liquor. Its versatility makes cappuccino a world wide gourmet choice.

Making Cappuccino

If the Cappuccino nozzle is not attached, attach it now (20).

1.Pour 4 to 6 oz of fresh, cold milk into a small pitcher. Do not use a pitcher cleaned with hot water and still warm. The pitcher should fit underneath the cappuccino nozzle. We recommend using 2% or skim for a stiff, dense froth. Use regular whole milk if you prefer a creamy froth.

2.Follow the directions from step 1 to 12 in section « Making Espresso ».

3.As soon as the first few drops of coffee are forced through the filter holder you can start frothing the milk.

Place the tip of the steam nozzle half way into the pitcher of milk.

4a) Turn the steam release knob (e2) counterclockwise to release steam(21).

b)Keep pitcher slightly tilted so that you can always see the position of the nozzle as you froth the milk.

Always ensure some clearance between the cappuccino nozzle end and bottom wall of the pitcher, to allow steam exhaust.

In just a few seconds, your milk will begin to froth. As the froth rises, keep lowering the pitcher so that the tip of the steam nozzle is always just slightly beneath the surface of the rising froth.

Note : Do not bring milk to a boil (this will happen if large bubbles start to form on the surface of the milk).

c)When you have finished frothing milk, close the steam release knob by turning it clockwise while the nozzle is still immersed in the milk. This willavoid splattering of the hot milk and froth.

d)If you prefer «stiff» froth, let the frothed milk stand for a minute.

ATTENTION :

Clogged steam nozzle

Milk residuals will build up in the tip of the steam nozzle after frothing milk. To avoid clogging, remove the plastic housing of the cappuccino nozzle (22) once appliance is cold, for easy cleaning. Then follow «cleaning the steam nozzle» as described in the section «Cleaning the cappuccino nozzle».

Don’t forget to replace the tip of the nozzle and screw on tightly (23).

1.Fill the boiler container with cold water.

CAUTION

2.Have your pitcher with milk ready to heat.

3.Place glass carafe, with lid under filter holder (18). Make sure the side knob (e2) is set on cup Espresso position. Then turn the selector knob (S) to the left in Espresso ON position. The left indicator will light ON blue (19).

4.Open the steam release knob immediately after turning the machine on. Stand by with your frothing pitcher.
