Preparing Cappuccino
Cappuccino is a delicious blend of espresso, steamed milk and frothed milk.
CAUTION: To avoid scalding or burns, do not open the water tank safety lid or remove the filter handle during
the brewing process or when the BREW light is illuminated.
NOTE: To prepare 2 cups of cappuccino, fill the carafe 3 cups of cool, clean water: 2 cups espresso + 1 cup
for steaming.
1. Fill a deep, narrow metal pitcher half full with fresh, cold skim milk and place it next to the Espresso
Maker.
2. Follow the detailed procedures for brewing espresso outlined in this Instruction Manual. This should
be added making reference to the previous espresso description.
3. When the coffee begins to flow into the carafe, hold the pitcher by the handle and bring up to the steam
jet. Insert the “Perfect Froth” tip just under the surface of the milk. Turn the function knob gradually
to STEAM. Move the pitcher in a slightly circular motion, and continue to froth the milk.
REMINDER: To avoid splattering, the tip must remain just under the surface of the milk. Otherwise,
splattering may occur.
IMPORTANT: When frothing milk, the volume of milk will double. The top half will be frothed, the bottom
half will be milk.
4. After frothing, turn the function knob back to BREW, to allow the appliance to complete the espresso
brewing process.
5. Remove the pitcher from the steam jet.
6. When the coffee has stopped flowing into the carafe, turn the function knob to OFF.
CAUTION: Before removing the filter handle, or the water tank safety lid, turn the function knob
to STEAM and wait until no further steam is emitted from the steam jet. This will allow any extra steam
to be released and will clean the steam jet of any excess milk. Then turn the function knob back
to the OFF position.
7. Fill a cappuccino cup 1/3 full of freshly brewed espresso. Pour in an equal amount of warm milk and spoon
frothed milk on top.
8. Dust froth with cocoa powder, fresh grated nutmeg or cinnamon and enjoy a delicious, freshly brewed
cappuccino.
