It is not recommended to leave milk
unrefrigerated for longer than 1 hour. Be sure
to clean the milk tank regularly. See Cleaning
The Milk Tank on page 9.
CAPPUCCINO OR LATTE
1. Using the lever, open the brew head, insert a
capsule, and close the brew head.
2. Be sure there is milk in
the milk tank and tank is
properly installed (see
Steam/Frothing section).
3. Place a cup on the drip
tray, and position the
steam/frothing wand in
the cup.
4. Use the steam control dial
on the milk tank cover to
select the amount of air/
froth you want.
NOTE:
It is recommended to
use more froth for
cappuccino and latte. If you prefer less froth,
use the setting on the dial.
5. Press either the CAPPUCCINO or
LATTE button.
6. The frothed milk will be dispensed into the
cup, followed by
Cuisinart’s patented Burst
of Steam feature that
quickly cleans the steam/
frothing wand. Espresso
is then immediately dispensed.
Tips for creating a perfect froth:
Milk frothing is the steaming of milk. The
steam does two things; it heats milk and it
mixes in air to form a foamy texture. As with
anything, perfecting the art of milk texturing
takes practice, but the results are well worth it!
Use cold, refrigerated milk in the milk tank. Any
type of milk may be used, but for best results,
skim is recommended. Keep in mind that the
milk volume will increase during frothing, so use
a large enough cup.
NOTE:
If the milk tank is not installed or placed
in the unit correctly, the CAPPUCCINO
,
LATTE
, and STEAM LEDs will not light.
Only lit LEDs are available functions.
