milk, or froth the milk first and then
prepare the espresso directly into the
cup which contains the frothed milk.
14a. FROTHING MILK
FOR CAPPUCCINO
TIP: When frothing milk, make sure
your container has enough room for
the milk froth to expand, e.g. if you
want to steam and froth 6 oz. of milk,
your container should have at least a
12 oz. capacity.
TIP: For a novice it may be easier to
steam and froth with a bit more milk.
No milk will be wasted as it can be
re-used again later. With practice you
will be able to steam even small
amounts of milk directly in your
cappuccino cup and then add the
espresso shot.
a. Fill a pitcher with cold milk.
Note: Always start with cold milk.
Skim milk (0% fat) will produce the
most froth and will let you taste
more of your espresso. 1% and 2%
milk will give you a bit less froth.
Regular milk (3% fat) will produce
half or less than half the froth of
skim milk.
b. Press the selector switch on top of
machine to the steam position
(fig, 1; 1b).
c. Turn selector knob to the pre-heating
position (fig. 7). When the orange
thermostat light illuminates, the
system is ready to froth.
d. Make sure the cylinder of the
frother is pushed down (fig. 12).
e. Immerse the frother into the milk so
that the tip of the frother, including
the small side holes is beneath the
surface of the milk (fig. 15). Make
sure that the frother tip does not
touch the bottom of the pitcher.
f. Turn the selector knob to the steam
position (fig. 8). The machine will
produce steam. Steam output is
continuous.
Note: During steaming you will hear a
slight knocking noise. This indicates
that small water droplets are pumped
into the Thermoblock system to be
transformed into steam.
g. When you have enough hot frothed
milk, turn the selector knob back to
the "O"– position (fig. 5).
h. You can now immediately brew
your espresso coffee and combine
it with the hot frothed milk for a
wonderful cappuccino.
14b. INCREASING TEMPERATURE
OF FROTHED MILK
If your frothed milk is not hot enough,
proceed as follows: Move the cylinder
of the frother up (fig. 12). Immerse the
frother into the frothed milk and con-
tinue steaming. Steam will increase
the temperature of the milk without
increasing the froth. Make sure that
the milk does not start boiling. Boiling
will destroy the froth on top of the milk.
14c. CLEANING THE DUAL
FROTHER
Fast Cleaning:
Cleaning the frother takes less than
30 seconds. If you do not clean the
frother after using milk, the milk will
harden and the frother will not be able
to create milk froth the next time you
use it. It is also much more difficult to
remove hardened milk at a later time.
• Clean the outside of the frother
with a damp cloth.
• Hold a container underneath the
frother. Press the selector switch on
top of the machine to the hot water
position (fig. 1, 1b).
• Turn the selector knob to the steam
position (fig. 8). Let hot water run for
several seconds through the frother.
Thorough Cleaning:
• Unscrew the black tip (fig. 13 & 14).
Make sure that all openings including
the two small side holes and the
groove are free of milk deposits.
• Replace cylinder and screw on tip
finger tight.
