Making Cappuccino
A cappuccino is an espresso coffee with a froth topping made by
heating milk.
1 Pour the quantity of milk required to make the cappuccino cof-
fees (about 100 ml for each cappuccino) into the milk container
(E) (fig. 13). Never exceed the MAX level (corresponding to
about 250 mls) marked on the tank (fig. 14) as milk may contin-
ue to drip from the milk tank tube after the cappuccino has
been made. Always use fresh cold milk. Never use hot milk.
2 When preparing four cappuccino coffees, the milk in the tank
must be topped up.
3 Follow the steps 1-10 in the paragraph "Making Espresso
Coffee". Note that the amount of water needed to make 2 cups
of cappuccino is greater than that required for 2 cups of normal
coffee as it is also necessary to produce the steam to froth the
milk.
For best results the strength selector should be set to “MEDIUM”.
4 Allow the coffee to drip into the carafe until it reaches the
number 2 or 4 marked on the side of the carafe, then select
"CAPPUCCINO".
5 Pour the coffee into the cups amd place one cup at a time under-
neath the steam tube.
6 Rotate the steam knob anticlockwise for at least one turn (fig.
15).The frothed milk from the tube will flow into the cup.
Continue until half the milk has been emptied from the tank,
then shut off the steam by rotating the knob clockwise. When
using small cups, to avoid splashes of milk, fit the splash
hood onto the milk tube (fig. 16).
7 Repeat the operation for the number of cups required until suf-
ficient milk is in the cups.
8 After preparing the last cappuccino, before turning the appliance
off, lift the intake tube in the container above the level of any
milk left as shown in fig. 17 and rotate the steam knob anti-
clockwise. Allow the steam to discharge for a few seconds, then
close the knob with the tube extracted. For hygiene reasons,
this operation should always be performed to avoid stale milk
remaining in the circuits of the appliance.
9 Finally, to avoid the milk solidifying, the milk container should be
washed immediately as described below in the "Cleaning the
milk frother" paragraph.
