pressing is excessive, coffee delivery will be slow and the
froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coffee delivery
will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and light
coloured.
4. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder
and attach to the appliance. Turn the handle firmly to-
wards the right (fig. 6) to avoid water leaking out.
5. Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts (fig.
13). You are recommended to warm the cups before mak-
ing coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
6. Make sure the OK light (fig. 8) is on (if off, wait until it
comes on), then turn the selector to the
(fig. 13).
position (fig. 13). When the desired amount of coffee has
been delivered, turn the selector to the
to interrupt
the flow.
You should not deliver coffee for more than
45 seconds.
7. To remove the filter holder, rotate the handle from right to
left.
Danger of burns!
To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while
the appliance is delivering coffee.
8. To turn the appliance off, press the ON/OFF button.
HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS
1. Preheat the appliance as described in the section “Tips for
a hotter coffee”, making sure the filter holder is attached.
This obtains a hotter coffee.
Please note:
Please note. Use pods conforming to the ESE standard,
indicated on the pack by the following symbol.
The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod producers and enables
espresso coffee to be prepared simply and cleanly.
2. Place the filter for coffee pods (with the
symbol on
the bottom) in the filter holder.
3. Insert the pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter
(fig. 15). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to
position the pod on the filter correctly.
4. Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always turn as far
as it will go (fig. 6).
5. Proceed as in points from 5 to 8 in the previous section.
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
1. Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the previous
sections, using sufficiently large cups.
2. Turn the selector to the
position (fig. 16) and wait
until the OK light comes on.
3. In the meantime, fill a recipient with about 100 grams of
milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. The milk must be
at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size
of the recipient, bear in mind that the milk doubles or tri-
ples in volume (fig. 17).
Please note:
You are recommended to use semi-skimmed milk and at
refrigerator temperature.
4. Place the recipient containing the milk under the cappucci-
no maker.
5. Wait until the OK light comes on. This indicates that
the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam
production.
6. Open the steam turning counter-clockwise the steam dial
for a few seconds to eliminate any water in the circuit.
Close the steam.
7. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk about 5 mm
(fig. 18) and turn the steam dial anti-clockwise (rotating
the dial more or less varies the quantity of steam delivered
by the cappuccino maker). The milk now starts to increase
in volume and take on a creamy appearance.
8. When the milk has doubled in volume, immerse the cap-
puccino maker deeply and continue heating the milk.
When the required temperature is reached (60°C is ideal),
interrupt steam delivery by turning the steam dial clock-
wise and turn the selector to the
position (fig. 19).
9. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso
coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweet-
en to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little
cocoa powder.
Please note:
•
To prepare more than one cappuccino, first make all the coffees then at the end
prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
•
To make coffee again after the milk has been frothed, first cool the boiler, or
the coffee will be burnt. To cool it place a container under the boiler outlet,
turn the selector to the
position and discharge water until the OK light
goes off. Return the selector to the
position and then proceed to make
coffee.
You are recommended to deliver steam for a
maximum of 60 seconds and never to froth
milk more than three times consecutively.
Important!
For hygiene reasons, the cappuccino maker
should always be cleaned after use.
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn the steam dial to deliver a little steam for a few sec-
onds (points 2, 5 and 6 of the previous section). This causes
the cappuccino maker to discharge any milk left inside.
Press the ON/OFF button to turn the appliance off.
2. With one hand, hold the cappuccino maker tube firmly,
with the other, release the cappuccino maker by turning it
clockwise, then pull off downwards (fig. 20).
