USING YOUR 3 IN 1 COFFEE CENTER – PREPARING CAPPUCCINO

•3 cups of water = 2 cups of espresso, plus steam for frothing milk for cappuccino

•Maximum capacity (bottom of the metal band around the glass espresso carafe) = 4 cups of espresso, plus steam for frothing milk for cappuccino.

1.Follow steps 1-7 in the “Preparing Espresso” section of this manual. NOTE: Do not start brewing until step 3 below.

2.Using a stainless steel, ceramic or high temperature glass pitcher, fill with 4oz of fresh cold milk. The pitcher should be wide-mouthed and fit under the steam wand. For best performance the pitcher should be cool or chilled.

3.Turn the ESPRESSO switch to “ON” position. It will take approximately 2 minutes for the water to be heated. The water will then be forced through the ground coffee into the glass carafe or cups.

4.As soon as the espresso has filled the espresso carafe to the foam mark on the carafe, you can start frothing the milk. Submerse the tip of the frothing nozzle half way into the pitcher of milk. NOTE: Do not open the steam release valve before submersing the steam nozzle into the milk or the milk will splash back.

5.Turn the steam release knob counter clockwise to release steam into the milk. Keep the pitcher slightly tilted so that you can always see the position of the nozzle when you froth the

milk. The frothing nozzle should be below the surface of the milk but not so far as to allow the top of the frothing nozzle into the milk. Your milk will begin to froth immediately. As the froth rises, keep lowering the pitcher so that the tip of the frothing nozzle is always just slightly beneath the surface of the rising foam.

6.When the milk has doubled in volume insert the frothing nozzle deeper into the milk in order to heat the milk. If using a beverage thermometer the ideal temperature of the milk when finished is 150-170ºF or 66º-77ºC. NOTE: Do not allow the milk to boil. You know this has happened if there is a sudden growth in the milk and large bubbles start to form on the surface of the milk.

7.Close the steam release knob by turning it clockwise while the nozzle is still immersed in the milk. This will avoid splattering of the hot milk. If you prefer a “stiff” froth, let the frothed milk stand for a minute.

8.Allow the espresso to finish brewing. Move the espresso switch to the “OFF” position.

9.Pour the espresso into a cup large enough for the espresso/frothed milk combination. Add the steamed milk and spoon on the frothed milk.

•Do not unscrew the boiler cap while the machine is in operation. Wait until brewing cycle is completed, all water and steam has been used and the machine is switched off.

•Use caution when removing the filter holder, as the metal parts may remain hot for some time.

•Thoroughly clean the steam wand and frothing nozzle after each use to ensure satisfactory and trouble free frothing.
