Be sure to use a quality grinder or mill for uniform consistency in your espresso grind. Oval shaped
coffee mills are not recommended because the grind is not consistent.

Before Using Your Espresso Maker

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO

1. Cappuccino is espresso topped with steamed and frothed milk. Frothing milk for cappuccino takes

practice. Do not discouraged if it is not perfect the first time. It may take a few times before you
perfect this process.

2. For best results, we recommend frothing the milk in a separate pitcher and pouring the milk into

your coffee. The milk and pitcher should be cold. Do not use a pitcher which has just been washed
in warm water.

Make the espresso as described previously. When finished making the espresso, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure the Espresso/Cappuccino Machine is switched off and the Steam Arm (6) is rotated

outwards to the right.

2. Fill the stainless steel jug approximately half full of milk.
3. Turn the Switch Control Knob (3) to the indicator position .
