Using the pressure gauge (if fitted)
In order to obtain a good espresso coffee, it is necessary that the
delivery take place with the boiler at its optimum pressure.This
pressure is attained when the pointer of the pressure gauge is
within the grey-coloured section (fig. 17).
How to make cappuccino
1. Prepare espresso coffee, using cups that are large enough for
cappuccinos
2. Press the steam switch (fig. 18) and wait until the “steam” light
comes on (fig. 18) to indicate that the boiler has reached the
ideal temperature for producing steam.
3. Meanwhile, fill a heat resistant container/jug with approximately
3fl. oz. of milk for each cappuccino.The milk should be cold
from the refrigerator and semi-skimmed as this gives the best
results. In choosing the container, bear in mind that the volume
of the milk will increase 2 or 3 times.
4. Position the container with the milk in it under the milk frother
(fig. 19).
5. Immerse the steam nozzle about 5 mm into the milk and move
the steam outlet lever in an anti-clockwise direction (fig. 20) (by
turning the knob to a greater or lesser extent, it is possible to
vary the quantity of steam that comes out from the cappuccino
maker). At this point, the milk will begin to increase in volume
and to appear frothy.
6. When the volume of milk has doubled, immerse the steam noz-
zle and continue heating the milk. Once the desired tempera-
ture has been reached (the ideal temperature is 60°C), stop the
steam by turning the steam outlet lever in a clockwise direction
and at the same time press the steam switch off (fig. 18).
7. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso
coffee.Your cappuccino is now ready. Add sugar to taste and, if
desired, sprinkle a little powdered chocolate or cinnamon on
top of the froth.
Note:
to prepare more than one cappuccino, first make all the cof-
fees then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the cappucci-
nos.
IMPORTANT:
always clean the milk frother and steam nozzle
immediately after use. Proceed as follows:
1. By turning the steam outlet lever (fig. 20), allow a little steam to
come out for a few seconds.Then close firmly by turning clock-
wise.
2. Unscrew the steam nozzle, by turning it clockwise (fig. 21) and
wash it with warm water.
