14. FROTHING AND STEAMING MILK
The Impressa S9, S8 and S7 can be operated with two different
frothing systems:
a) The Dual Frother-PLUS which is mounted on all machines.
b) The frothXpress-PLUS system which is included with the S9.
For the S7 and S8 order this system with the enclosed order
form or through our website: www.capresso.com.
Recommendation:
• If you froth for only one or two cups at a time and want 100%
control over the frothing/steaming process, the Dual Frother-
PLUS might be the preferred equipment. Use with the
PERMANENT STEAM
button (Fig. 3,M).
• If you always want the same amount of milk and milk froth in
your cup or you make three, four, five or more cappuccinos in
a row the frothXpress-PLUS is definitely faster and more
convenient to use. Ideally use the
STEAM PORTION
button.
Frothing
(Cappuccino): Injecting hot steam into the milk to warm
the milk and create a firm layer of tiny bubbles.
Steaming
(Latte): Injecting hot steam to warm the milk without a
frothy layer.
