MAKE CAPPUCCINO
You can get a cup of cappuccino by topping a cup of espresso with frothed milk.
Note: during making steam, the porta-filter must be in position.
Method:
•
Prepare espresso as detailed above in “MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE”. Make sure
the cup is big enough to accommodate the coffee and the frothed milk. Also
make sure that the steam knob is at the “O” position.
•
Press down the steam button
to the lower position, until the steam indica-
tor (yellow) illuminates.
•
Fill a jug with about 100 ml of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared, you are
recommended to use whole milk at refrigerator temperature (not hot).
•
In order to get better milk foam performance, open steam knob for approxi-
mately 15 seconds without putting it in the milk yet. This will clear out any cold
water in the system. Then put the knob back to “O” position and conduct the
next step.
•
Insert the steam wand into the milk about two centimetres deep, then turn the
steam knob
slowly
anti-clockwise. Steam will come out from the steam wand.
Frothed milk is produced by moving vessel round while the wand is submerged
in the milk.
•
Note: Never touch steam outlet during steam jetting and be careful not to
get burnt
.
•
Note
: Always turn the steam knob slowly to release the steam in a controlled
manner
•
When frothing of the milk is complete, you can turn the steam knob back to the
“O” position.
•
Best temperature for frothed milk is 70 degrees C. There will be plenty of
steam coming from it.
•
After frothing the milk, put an empty jug under the steam wand, then turn on
the steam knob and press down the pump control button
to the lower po-
sition, for 30 seconds, then turn it off again. This will clean out the steam tube.
Finally, clean the steam outlet with wet sponge, but take care not to get burnt!
•
Press and release the ON/OFF button
to switch the machine off.
•
Pour the frothed milk into the espresso prepared, now the cappuccino is ready.
Sweeten if desired and sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.
