How to Make Cappuccino

Capp uccino is espresso topped with steamed milk. This pump style

mach ine has ample pressure to make perfect froth. However, It may

take a few

times before you aid frothing like a “pro’ Do not be disc-

couraged if It is not perfect the first time.

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.

When preparing cappuccino, we recommend having all Ingredients on

hand.

The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso. Therefore,

motion around the steam nozzle. Because warm

milk does not froth, the milk should be frothed from

just below the surface.

5. When the milk has doubled in volume, insert the

steam nozzle farther down into milk to further heat the

milk. To avoid splatlering of hot milk, do not lift the
steam nozzle above the surface of the milk until the
steam selector control knob is in the OFF position.

After the milk is frothed, set the pitcher aside and
allow the milk .to settle.

Clean the steam nozzle immediately after frothing milk. Place a

seconds will clear the nozzle. Wipe nozzle with a damp cloth. Clean

nozzle can be unscrewed In a counter-clockwise direction using the

end of the measuring spoon and then It can be cleaned. The nozzle

must be screwed on again in a clockwise direction. Tighten using

reasonable force with the end of the measuring spoon provided.

and milk is to taste; in Italy It is normally 1 part espresso and 2 parts

milk plus the froth.

power cord and allow the machine too cool.
