Prepare cappuccino / froth milk
WARNING!
Hot splashes may occur when frothing the milk. Always handle the milk frother with care.
Ensure that the handle is correctly seated on the milk frother.
A classic cappuccino is prepared with one espresso (approx. 20 ml) in one 150 ml cup, which is then
filled up with frothed hot milk.
1. Put 100ml of cold milk in a larger container, so that it is ready for frothing. Ideally, a frothing
container made of stainless steel. Also refer to “Tips for frothing milk” section.
2. Prepare one espresso in a larger cup (approx. 150 ml) (refer to “Prepare espresso” section). Then,
set the espresso aside first.
3. Turn the steam controller all the way to the right (0 position) to close the steam nozzle.
4. Turn the milk frother out to the side. Only hold the handle.
5. Press the steam button.
6. Wait until the indicator lamp for the steam pressure lights up yellow.
NOTE:
You can track the rising steam pressure by referring to the temperature indicator. But it is still
crucial to wait until the lamp for the steam pressure indicator lights up Yellow.
7. Hold an
empty container
underneath the milk frother. Then, turn the steam controller
slowly to the left (counter clockwise). Condensation and splashes will come out of the nozzle.
This way, the nozzle and the water circuit inside the machine is cleaned.
8.Wait for approx. 15 seconds, then close the steam controller again, by turning it all the way to
the right, until no more steam comes out of the nozzle. Place the container used aside.
9. Pick up the frothing container containing the cold milk and guide the nozzle of the milk frother
lightly into the milk. Hold the frothing container at a slight angle.
10. Turn the steam controller slowly to the left.
11. Move the container up and down slightly, so that the frother is repeatedly immersed in the milk.
Hold the tip of the nozzle just under the surface: deep enough, that the milk does not spray in all
directions and high enough that a thick froth is created.
NOTE:
If the yellow temperature lamp goes out, this means the machine is heating up again. You can
nevertheless continue using the frother, as long as steam is still flowing out of the nozzle. If the
frothing stops, close the steam controller and wait for a moment until the steam pressure indicator
lamp lights up again, you can then continue with frothing the milk.
12. Once you have created sufficient milk froth, place the container aside briefly and hold the tall,
empty cup under the frother.
13. Open the steam controller again and allow steam to escape for several seconds, for fast cleaning.
IMPORTANT! Make sure to clean the Milk Frother Tube after use.
14. Close the steam controller. Press the steam button to switch OFF steam function.
15. Swivel the milk frother towards the back again. In doing so, only hold the milk frother on the
handle.
16. Fill the milk froth into the cup of previously prepared espresso using a spoon for assistance. You
can add sugar or sprinkle with cocoa powder, as desired.
17. Clean the espresso machine after allowing it cool down for few minutes, so that coffee grounds
and milk residues do not dry on (refer to “Cleaning” section).
CAUTION: Metal parts particularly remain hot for longer.
