13. Once the coffee has stopped the

complete brewing process, turn OFF the

machine by moving the switch to the

“0” position. The control light will go

out, indicating that the machine is OFF.

14. Before you remove the filter holder for

cleaning, make sure that the boiler is no

longer under pressure (see section

CAUTION-PRESSURE).

CAUTION:

Use caution, when removing the filter

holder, metal parts may still be hot.

To remove the filter holder, turn the

filter holder to the left, past the “lock”

markings until the holder dislodges

from the unit.

Metal parts might still be hot. Cool down by

running under cold water.

To make more espresso, proceed as follows:
n Check to see if the boiler is empty and not

under pressure (see section “CAUTION
PRESSURE”).

n Remove filter holder

n Empty filter basket

Repeat steps 1-12 of this section.

Cappuccino takes its name from the

chocolate hues of the robes worn by the
Capuchin monks who favored this delicious
dessert coffee. While cappuccino is

traditionally made up of espresso and
frothed milk, it can be tailored to one’s own
taste with cinnamon, sugar, chocolate flakes

or even liquor. Its versatility makes
cappuccino a worldwide gourmet choice.

Preparation of cappuccino:
KRUPS “Perfect Froth” attachment lets you

froth milk perfectly for making cappuccino.

n Note: If the “Perfect Froth” attachment is

not in place, do so at this time

(see

figure 13).

1. The first step in making cappuccino is to

make espresso: Therefore, fill the glass

carafe with the amount of water which is

required to make the amount of espresso

plus additional water for frothing milk

section “Making Espresso”).

2. Fill a small stainless steel frothing pitcher

to

full with fresh, cold milk and set

aside. Skim or 1% low fat milk will

produce the best results.

3. Turn the machine to the

position.

As soon as the brewing espresso reaches

the steaming mark on the glass carafe,

turn the selector switch to the “0”

position. At that time the boiler has

created enough pressure and steam to

start frothing the milk. Frothing the milk

before finishing the espresso prevents

you from running out of steam, which can

happen if you froth towards the end of the
brewing process.

4. Now take your pitcher with milk and

insert the steam nozzle half way into the
pitcher. Turn the selector switch to the

position and leave in for

approximately

seconds, depending

on how much froth you want and the type

of milk you are using (see

figure 14).

ATTENTION:

Do not bring milk to a boil (this will happen

if large bubbles start forming at the surface
of the milk).

Do not let the “Perfect Froth” attachment

touch the bottom of the pitcher (this will

prevent you from frothing milk).

5. Turn the three way selector switch back to

the “0” position while the nozzle is still

immersed in the milk. This will prevent

splattering of hot milk.

6. After the milk is frothed set the pitcher

aside and allow the frothed milk to settle.

7. Then turn the three way selector switch

back to the

position to finish

making the espresso.

8. Pour the espresso into a cup which has

the capacity of at least oz.). Add the

steamed milk to the espresso and spoon

on the frothed milk. The proportion
between espresso and milk is to taste; in
Italy it is normally

espresso,

steamed milk plus

froth.
