MAKING CAPPUCCINO
You can make a cup of cappuccino by topping a cup of espresso with frothing milk.
Note
: During steaming, the portafilter must be assembled in position.
Method:
1. Prepare espresso first as per the instructions above, make sure that the steam dial is at the "0"
position.
2. Press the coffee/steam on/off button “ ”, waiting until the steam temperature indicator
illuminates (green). The temperature gauge will rise higher (than that noted when making
espresso). This process will take around 1 minute.
3. Fill a small jug with about 100ml of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. It is
recommended to use whole milk at a refrigerated temperature (not hot).
4. In order to achieve ideal milk foam consistency, it is recommended to keep the steam dial in the
open position for approximately 15 seconds, since the initial steam contains too much water,
then keep the dial at the “0” position and conduct next step.
5. Insert the steam wand into the milk (approx. two centimetres deep), then turn the steam dial
slowly anticlockwise. Steam will come out from the steam wand. Frothed milk is produced by
moving the vessel around and from up to down.
Note:
To avoid burns, never directly touch the steam outlet during operation and take care to
avoid placing hand or fingers near the outlet when discharging steam.
Note:
Never turn the steam dial rapidly, as the steam will accumulate rapidly in short time which
may increase the potential of the risk of steam bursts.
6. When the required amount of frothing is reached, you can turn the steam dial to the “0” position.
Then press the coffee/ steam on/off button.
7. To avoid the steam outlet being blocked after frothing milk each time, put an empty jug under
the steam wand, then turn on the steam dial and press the pump on/off control button. The
pump will begin operating. Once the water has been flowing for 30 seconds, press the pump
control on/off button to switch off.
8. Let the components cool down completely, then rinse under running water. Ensure the steam
wand / nozzle is thoroughly cleaned after each use. Remove the steam wand cover (tube) and
rinse, while cleaning the internal nozzle with a wet towel.
9. Press and release the ON/OFF button to power the unit off.
10. Pour the frothed milk into the espresso that was previously prepared. Sweeten if desired by
sprinkling the froth with a little cocoa powder.
Note:
Please follow the instructions below if the steam outlet is blocked: turn the steam dial to “0”
position and let the coffee maker cool down for about half an hour. Poke the steam outlet several
times with a needle around 1mm in diameter. Finally, press the coffee/steam button and turn on the
steam dial to check if the appliance can produce steam normally when the steam indicator (green)
illuminates.
