HOW TO FROTH MILK FOR A
CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ

A cappuccino is an espresso topped with

steamed and frothed milk (

1

3

espresso,

1

3

steamed milk,

1

3

frothed milk), traditionally

served luke warm in a cup.

A latte is an espresso topped with

steamed and frothed milk (

1

3

espresso,

topped with steamed milk and about 10cm of

frothed milk), traditionally served in a glass

wrapped with a serviette.

The first step in making a cappuccino/latte

is to make a short espresso (Follow steps

in ‘How to make an Espresso’).

Fill the frothing jug 1/3 full with cold milk

(skim milk is the easiest to froth).

Hold the frothing jug below the froth

enhancer. Immerse the froth enhancer

10mm into the milk and rotate the

Selector Control to the ‘STEAM’

position

. Gently move the frothing

jug in a circular motion around the

froth enhancer.

When the milk begins to increase in

volume, immerse the froth enhancer

deeper into the milk to further heat the

milk. Do not allow the milk to boil.

Turn the Selector Control to the

‘STANDBY’ position to stop the steaming

function before removing the jug.

Add the steamed milk to each cup of

freshly brewed espresso coffee and spoon

on the frothed milk.

Switch the power off at the power outlet,

unplug the power cord, remove all steam

pressure and allow the appliance to cool.

Do not remove the water tank cap or the

filter holder until the steam pressure in

the appliance has been released. The

Pressure Indicator Button should drop

down and be flush with the top of the

water tank cap.

HOW TO RELEASE THE
STEAM PRESSURE

Switch the power off at the power outlet

and unplug the power cord.

Place the frothing jug under the steam

nozzle.

Turn the selector control to the ‘STEAM’

position

and allow all steam and

residual water to completely drain off into

the jug until all flow and sound ceases.

The steam pressure is now removed.

Turn the selector control to the ‘BREW’

position

to ensure steam pressure is

removed, then turn back to the ‘STANDBY’

position.

The Pressure Indicator Button should drop

down and be flush with the top of the

water tank cap. (See Fig.5)

After the steam pressure has been

released, remove the filter holder from the

brew head. Using the filter retainer clip to

secure the filter in the filter holder, turn

the filter holder upside down to empty

used coffee (used coffee grounds should

be thrown away with domestic waste and

not down the sink which may block

drains). Rinse the filter and filter holder

with water and allow to dry.

THE METAL PARTS OF THE FILTER HOLDER MIGHT STILL BE VERY HOT.

COOL DOWN THESE PARTS BY RUNNING UNDER COLD WATER.

TO AVOID POSSIBLE BURNS FROM HOT STEAM AND WATER, NEVER

REMOVE THE WATER TANK CAP OR THE FILTER HOLDER WHILE THERE

IS STEAM PRESSURE IN THE WATER TANK. REMOVE ALL STEAM

PRESSURE FIRST.

NEVER LET COFFEE OR WATER LEVEL IN A CUP REACH THE POURING

NOZZLE OF THE FILTER HOLDER.
