Preparing cappuccino:
When preparing to make a cappuccino, have all of the
ingredients at hand as well as a frothing pitcher (or mug)
halffi lled with skimmed or low-fat milk and cups that are
larger (6 oz.) than those used for espresso.
Frothing Milk:
The higher the fat content in the milk the denser the froth
will be. The Turbo-Frother (8) or the cappuccino maker
pos.24 will give you all the froth required but don’t let milk
come to a boil.
It may require two or three attempts to “become an expert”
but you will be successful at frothing milk if you give it a
chance. Swivel the Turbo- Frother steam nozzle (or milk
frother) slightly outward so that you can get the frothing
pitcher under the nozzle without knocking the base of the
machine.
Turbo frother steam nozzle version:
Steam can be used to froth the milk for cappuccinos and also
to heat beverages.
Caution! Scalding hazard! Splashing may occur
at the start – scalding hazard! The hot water
nozzle and pipe can reach high temperatures:
avoid touching it directly with your hands.
1 Make espresso (in a large cups) as described above
2 With the machine ready to deliver coffee, convey the pipe
over the drip tray (12), open the “Hot water/steam” tap
knob (7) for a few seconds so to let the remaining water
come out of the steam pipe; after a few seconds only
steam will come out.
3 Close the steam/hot water tap knob(7).
4 Position steam switch (4) to “On”.
5 After 15 to 20 seconds or, when temperature ready-light
(5) goes on, place the frothing pitcher halffi lled with
low-fat milk under Turbo Frother steam nozzle so that
tip is just under the surface of the milk. See Fig.03.
6 Slowly turn steam valve knob (7) counter clockwise to
release steam.
IMPORTANT. The more you turn the knob, the greater
the steam pressure for frothing.
N.B.: Dispensing should not exceed 60 seconds.
7 Move pitcher in circular motion keeping the tip of steam
nozzle just under surface of milk as it begins to froth. Do
not let milk come to a boil since it will not froth.
8 When you have made enough froth,turn steam knob
clockwise to shut off steam and remove pitcher. Put steam
switch (4) to pos. “Off”.
9 Spoon the froth onto the espresso in each cup and gently
pour the hot milk along the side of the cup. Top each cup of
cappuccino with a dash of cinnamon, cocoa and nutmeg.
Serve.
10 NOTE: If you want to make more espresso immediately
after steaming milk, the machine boiler must be refi lled
with water and temperature brought down to a brewing
temperature. Otherwise, espresso may taste “burned”.
Warning! If coffee is brewed without reducing
the temperature through water dispensing, you
may get burnt!
To do this: place an empty cup on drip plate.
Do not insert fi lter holder. Turn hot water/brew switch
(4) to “On” letting cup fi ll with water. Turn brew
switch “Off”. You many now proceed to make more
espresso.
Making hot water:
1. Follow the procedure described under “Prepara-
tion”.
2. Turn the power switch (1) to “On”.
3. Allow about 6 minutes for the machine to reach its proper
operating temperature.
4. Place a pitcher under the steam nozzle (8).
5 Slowly turn the steam knob (7) anticlockwise so that the
hot water and put the hot water/brew switches (2) and
the steam switch (4) to “On” can be released.
N.B.: Dispensing should not exceed 60 seconds.
6 Once the desired quantity of hot water is obtained, turn
the steam knob clockwise and put the hot water/brew
switches (2) and the steam switch (4) to “Off” to stop
the water release.
