HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
Cappuccino is espresso topped with steamed and frothed
milk. Frothing milk for cappuccino takes practice. Do not be
discouraged if it is not perfect the first time. The milk should
be half steamed (bottom of pitcher) and half froth (top of
pitcher). It may take a few times before you perfect this
process.
For best results, we recommend frothing the milk in a
separate pitcher and pouring the steamed milk into your
coffee. The milk and pitcher should be cold. Do not use
a pitcher, which has just been washed in warm water. We
also recommend a stainless steel frothing pitcher and a
beverage thermometer, if you own one, for preparing the
best froth and steamed milk.
PREPARATION:
Gather the following prior to brewing
• Fine espresso ground coffe
• Tap water (or, preferably your favorite bottled water)
• Milk (2% is recommended for best frothing results)
• Frothing pitcher
• Teaspoon
• Your favorite cups/demitasses
• A kitchen thermometer (optional) placed into
the frothing pitcher will help enhance your tasting
experience by optimizing the steamed milk
temperature to 150°-155° F.
1. The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso.
Therefore, fill the water reservoir with cold water. Never
use warm or hot water to fill the water reservoir.
2. Follow the steps in the “HOW TO BREW ESPRESSO”
section at the bottom of pages E10-E11.
3. Fill a small stainless steel or ceramic pitcher 1/2 full with
cold milk and set next to machine. Skim or 2% milk will
be the easiest to froth.
4. You are now ready to froth and steam your milk. Turn
the ON/OFF Switch to the ON position, turn Brew/
Steam Switch to STEAM “ ” position and wait until
the Brew/Steam Indicator Light becomes solid green.
Hold the pitcher under the frothing tube (which can be
swiveled) so that the tip of the frothing tube is slightly
immersed in the milk. Turn the control knob clockwise
to the STEAM “ ” position. Hold the pitcher for
about 50 seconds (for 4oz. of milk) or longer if warmer
milk is desired. REMEMBER: The milk and the pitcher
should be very cold prior to frothing.
