PREPARING CAPPUCCINO
In Italy, cappuccino is usually 1 part espresso to 2 parts milk plus
froth. Americans love to add cinnamon, sugar, shaved chocolate,
nutmeg and/or various liquors to taste.
NOTE: The best frothed milk is obtained when fresh, cold skim milk is
used. When frothing milk, the volume of the milk will double.
1. Make sure the Steam Tube Cover is properly attached to the Steam
Tube before beginning to froth the milk.
2. Prepare espresso as described in the section: BREWING
ESPRESSO. Add extra water to the Water Tank to create steam to
froth milk. Use the Glass Carafe to measure the correct volume of
water needed. For 2 cups, add water until it reaches the bottom of
the handle ring on the Glass Carafe. For 4 cups, add water until it
reaches the Pour Spout on the Glass Carafe.
3. Once the brewed espresso reaches the
STEAM
mark on the Carafe, hold a frothing pitcher by the
handle and bring up to the Steam Nozzle. Insert
the tip of the Nozzle just under the surface of the
milk. Turn the Function Control Knob to
STEAM and begin to froth the milk.
REMINDER:
Before frothing, make sure the tip of the
Steam Nozzle is just under the surface of the milk.
Otherwise, splattering may occur. See Figure 7.
CAUTION: Take extra care as steam is very hot and
will also cause the milk to become very hot.
4. When the milk reaches desired froth consistency, turn the Function
Control Knob back to
ESPRESSO. Brewing will resume.
NOTE: When preparing cappuccino, use a cappuccino cup with a
capacity of at least 5 ounces. Fill each cup half-full with espresso.
5. The froth will not readily pour from the container, since it
separates from the heated milk. The top half will be frothed, the
bottom half will be milk. Pour in an equal amount of warm milk
into each cup of espresso. Spoon the frothed milk onto the top.
6. Clear the Steam Tube of milk BEFORE brewing is finished, as dried
milk can be difficult to remove. To do this, put a container in
place under the Steam Tube to catch the excess milk and turn the
Function Control Knob
STEAM. Turn the Function Control
Knob back to ESPRESSO to complete brewing. After brewing is
completed, turn the Function Control Knob to OFF.
CAUTION: Avoid contact with any steam.

FOR SAFETY REASONS, BEFORE REMOVING THE PRESSURE
CAP OR THE FILTER HOLDER, ALL STEAM WHICH MAY BE
PRESENT IN THE WATER TANK MUST BE RELEASED. TO
RELEASE STEAM PRESSURE IN THE WATER TANK, TURN THE
FUNCTION CONTROL KNOB TO THE
STEAM POSITION
