Before preparing a cappuccino, make sure that you have everything that is nee-
ded including a pitcher (or cup) filled halfway with cold milk plus coffee and
milk cups.
F R O T H I N G T H E M I L K
The density of the frothed milk will depend on the fat content of the milk. The
nozzle (10) will produce the frothing needed without boiling the milk. After
trying two or three times and with a little bit of effort you will become an expert
in preparing a cappuccino. Move the steam nozzle (10) towards the outside of
the machine so that the pitcher can be inserted without hitting it against the side
of the espresso machine.
Press the espresso in large cups as already indicated.
Press the steam switch (4).
After seconds or when the temperature indicator (5) turns on, place
the pitcher that is filled halfway with cold milk under the steam nozzle. See
Figure A.
Slowly turn the dial of the dispenser tap (7) anti-clockwise to make the
steam come out. IMPORTANT: The pressure of the steam will increase as the
dial is turned.
Turn the pitcher with a circular movement while making sure that the end
of the steam nozzle is just barely immersed in the milk when the froth begins to
from. Do not boil the milk.
Once the right amount of froth has been obtained, turn the steam dial
clockwise to cut off the flow of steam and remove the pitcher. Release the steam
switch (4).
Pour the frothed milk into the coffee. Sprinkle cinnamon, cocoa or nutmeg
as desired. Serve.
