retainer clip to secure the filter in the filter holder, turn the brew basket upside down to
empty. Rinse the filter and brew basket with water.

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 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.
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 steps 1 – 6 in the “Brewing Espresso” section.
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. Press the red switch to the on position “I”,
wait until the ready 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, press the steam button “ ”. The ready light “ ” will start blinking and once it
becomes solid green again turn the side knob clockwise to the steam position “ ”.
Gently move the pitcher in a circular motion around the steam nozzle 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.
5. When the milk has doubled in volume, or, if you are using a beverage thermometer,
when the milk has reached 38°C (100°F), insert the frothing aid deeper into the milk
to further heat the milk. Do not heat milk above 65°C (150°F). To avoid splattering of
