How to Make Cappuccino

Cappuccino is espresso topped with steamed milk. This pump style machine has ample pressure to make perfect froth. However, It may take a few times before you aid frothing like a “pro’ Do not be disc- couraged if It is not perfect the first time.

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.

When preparing cappuccino, we recommend having all Ingredients on hand.

1.The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso. Therefore, fill to the top of the water reservoir (29 ounces capacity and place into the tank securely. (see step 2 “Filling the water tank on Page 6).

2. Follow steps 1-6 on “Brewing Espresso” on page 7.

3.Fill a small stainless steel or ceramic pitcher 1/3 full with cold milk and set next to machine. Skim milk or 2% will be the easiest to froth.

4. While the machine is ON hold the pitcher below the frothinq tube, with the tip slightly submerged into the milk. Flotate the steam selector control knob slowly from the OFF position to the ON position, steam wiII start flowing. Gently move the pitcher in a circular motion around the steam nozzle. Because warm milk does not froth, the milk should be frothed from just below the surface.

5.When the milk has doubled in volume, insert the steam nozzle farther down into milk to further heat the milk. To avoid splatlering of hot milk, do not lift the steam nozzle above the surface of the milk until the steam selector control knob is in the OFF position. After the milk is frothed, set the pitcher aside and allow the milk .to settle.

6.Clean the steam nozzle immediately after frothing milk. Place a frothing pitcher or Iarge cup (with a 16 ounce capacity) half full with water under the frothing tube. Producing steam for another 1-2 seconds will clear the nozzle. Wipe nozzle with a damp cloth. Clean nozzle with a needle If it is still blocked. If necessarv. the steam nozzle can be unscrewed In a counter-clockwise direction using the end of the measuring spoon and then It can be cleaned. The nozzle

must be screwed on again in a clockwise direction. Tighten using reasonable force with the end of the measuring spoon provided.

7.Turn the on/off switch OFF. Add the steamed milk to the espresso and spoon on the frothed milk. The proportion between espresso

and milk is to taste; in Italy It is normally 1 part espresso and 2 parts milk plus the froth.

8Unplug the power cord and allow the machine too cool.

9. Continue to follow steps 8-9 on Espresso on page 7.
