LONG BLACK – NORMAL COFFEE
The Long Black is according to “normal” coffee. Due to adding hot water (see: ‘Hot
Water’), the Long Black is milder than espresso. By selecting the appropriate func-
tion (1 cup or 2 cups) and adapting the amount of hot water added, you can adjust
the taste to your likings.
WARNING:
After using the hot water/steam function, the steam wand is very
hot! Only touch the steam wand at the black handle.
CAUTION:
The hot water will flow from the steam wand under pressure. If
possible, immerse the tip of the steam wand into your already prepared espresso,
before starting the hot water function. Otherwise, hot water could splash. Alterna-
tively, point the steam wand at an angle to the side-wall of your mug. However,
you should avoid this procedure, when using glasses, because even heat-resistant
glass could crack, due to the extreme local heating up. Always switch off the hot
water function, before removing your mug.
1. Prepare an espresso (1 cup or 2 cups) as described above.
2. After brewing, add the desired amount of hot water via the steam wand (see:
‘Hot Water’)). For this, immerse the tip of the steam wand into the coffee to avo-
id splashing. Alternatively, point the steam wand at an angle at the inner side-
wall of your mug (only with china mugs). Ensure that the steam button is dark
and the power button is illuminated continuously.
3. Turn the hot water/steam switch clockwise to start the hot water function.
4. Wait until the desired amount of water is supplied. Then turn the hot water/
steam switch back to the vertical position to stop the hot water flow.
5. Remove your mug and wipe the steam wand using a damp, clean cloth. By the
handle, turn the steam wand to the drip tray.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4. Let the appliance operate 1-2 seconds to purge the steam
wand.
Note
When knowing the required amount of water, you may start with hot water also
and thereafter fill up your mug with coffee.
