in section marked “CAUTION: PRESSUREon Page 7.

HOWTO MAKE CAPPUCCINO

Cappuccino is espresso topped with steamed and frothed milk. Frothing milk for cappuccino takes practice. Do not be discouraged if it is not perfect the first time. The milk should be half steamed (bottom of pitcher) and half frothed (top of pitcher). It may take a few times before you perfect this process.

For best results, we recommend frothing the milk in a separate pitcher and pouring the milk into your coffee. The milk and pitcher should be cold. Do not use a pitcher which has just been washed in warm water. We also recommend a stainless steel frothing pitcher and a beverage thermometer, if you own one, for preparing the best froth and steamed milk.
