times before you perfect this process.
For the best results, we recommend frothing 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. Use skim or 2% milk.
We also recommend a stainless steel frothing pitcher and a specialty beverage thermometer, if you own one, for preparing the best froth and steamed milk.
1.The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso.Therefore, fill the water reservoir with cold water. Never use warm or hot water to fill the water reservoir.
2.Follow steps in “Brewing Espresso”.
3.Fill a small stainless steel pitcher 1/3 to 1/2 way with cold milk. We recommend using a MR. COFFEE® frothing pitcher (EFP1) or any other pitcher that holds about 10 - 12 ounces and is around 5 inches tall. The pitcher should be cold. Do not use a pitcher that has just been washed with warm water.
4.Make sure the Espresso Machine is turned on and that there is water in the water reservoir. The brew ready indicator light will go off when the machine is ready to steam milk.
5.Press the Steam 
Start/Stop Button. The steam ready light will come on when the unit is ready to froth milk. The brew ready light will stay on.
6.Place the steaming tube in the pitcher with milk. Hold the pitcher so that the steaming tube is submerged in milk and close to the bottom of the pitcher.
7.Turn the Steam/Froth Control Knob counterclockwise 
to begin steaming. The steam ready light will go off while you are steaming milk. This is normal and you may continue steaming until you have completely steamed your milk. USE CAUTION: Steam emitted from the frothing arm is very HOT. As the milk heats up, the frothing pitcher will become very HOT!
8.The specially designed frothing attachment requires very little effort to produce thick and frothy steamed milk. Steam the milk until the desired consistency is achieved or until the frothed milk reaches the top of the pitcher. Slightly moving the pitcher up and down while steaming (and keeping the frothing tube immersed in milk)
will help produce extra froth. When you are finished steaming, turn the Steam Control Knob clockwise until it stops. Do not overtighten. Press the steam start / stop button to complete the frothing process.
9.When the Steam Control Knob is closed, you will notice the machine releases some steam. This is the machine releasing the pressure it has generated during the steaming process and is normal.
IMPORTANT
Clean the steam nozzle and frothing attachment immediately after each use. Fill a pitcher halfway with water and run the steaming feature again for about 20 seconds. This will clean out the inside of the steaming tube. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the exterior of the steaming tube and frother attachment. You may want to rinse the frother attachment with warm, soapy water. If the end of the steam tube becomes blocked with dry milk, use a sewing needle or safety pin to clean out the small hole.
ATTENTION
After using the steaming feature of your machine, the heating system is at its highest temperature. If you wish to prepare more espresso immediately after steaming milk, the heating system should be cooled down to keep from “burning” your espresso.
When the steam ready indicator light goes off, your machine is now ready to brew espresso at the perfect temperature.
CLEANING
When you are finished brewing espresso and steaming milk, begin cleaning by turning the unit off and unplugging the power cord.
The filter handle and filters should be cleaned each time you brew espresso. To clean, remove filter handle by turning the handle approximately 45 degrees left of center.
The filter handle will release down from its locked position. Use caution as the filter or pod adapter may still contain hot water floating on top of the coffee grounds or coffee pod. Knock the used espresso grounds or pod out while holding the filter or pod adapter in place by holding the thumb guard lock firmly against the filter cup or pod adapter. Use caution as the filter cup or pod adapter and the filter holder will be very hot. Rinse the filter cup or pod adapter and the filter holder out thoroughly with water. It is not recommended to put the filter, pod adapter or filter holder in the dishwasher. If you are not going to use the machine again for some time, do not reinsert the filter holder on the brew head; this will lengthen the service life of the filter seal.
Remove the Water Reservoir and empty out any remaining water. Do not wash the Water Reservoir in the dishwasher.
Remove the Drip Tray and Overflow Grid from the machine and rinse with warm, soapy water. Do not wash these parts in the dishwasher.
CLEANING THE BREW HEAD
The Brew Head may need cleaning after prolonged use. You may wipe off the brew head with a damp cloth to remove any old espresso grounds. If the brewing sieve (the underside
