Always ensure that the frothing
attachment has been firmly
pushed onto the steam wand.
For best results use fresh
cold milk (light milk will
froth easier).
Always clean the steam wand
and froth enhancer after every
use (refer to care and cleaning).
If brewing more coffee straight
after using the steam function,
set the selector control to the
‘espresso’ position to run a
small amount of water through
the brewing head for a few
seconds without the filter
holder in place. This will
prepare the system for
optimal brewing temperature.
LIQUID SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN OVER THE TOP OF THE
FROTH ENHANCER, OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT FUNCTION. TO AVOID
SPLATTERING OF HOT MILK, DO NOT LIFT THE STEAM NOZZLE
ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE MILK WHILE FROTHING. ENSURE
THE SELECTOR CONTROL IS IN THE ‘OFF’ POSITION BEFORE
REMOVING THE FROTHING JUG.
HOW TO FROTH MILK FOR A
CAPPUCCINO OR LATTE
The Breville Café Roma comes complete
with a frothing attachment for easier
frothing of milk. The first step in making a
cappuccino/latte is to make a short espresso
(see "Brewing Coffee"). Then:
1. Fill the stainless steel frothing jug
1
3
full
with cold milk.
2. As soon as the orange ‘heating’ light
turns off, plunge the steam wand into jug
of milk so that the main head of the froth
enhancer is immersed into the milk.
3. Set the Selector Control to the
‘STEAM’ position.
4. Gently move the frothing jug in a circular
motion around the froth enhancer.
5. When the milk has begun to increase in
volume, immerse the froth enhancer deeper
into the milk to further heat the milk.
6. The amount of froth desired may vary by
individual. The stainless steel frothing jug
will gradually become hot; be sure to hold
the handle or use a towel to avoid a hot
jug. Once the froth is to your liking switch
the Selector Control to the ‘Off’ position
to stop the steaming function before
removing the jug. This will ensure that
you don’t burn the milk.
7. Add the steamed milk to each cup of
freshly brewed espresso coffee and spoon
on the frothed milk in the following ratios:
Cappuccino

3

THE METAL PARTS OF THE FILTER HOLDER MIGHT STILL BE
VERY HOT. COOL DOWN THESE PARTS BY RUNNING UNDER COLD
WATER. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE FILTER RETAINER CLIP WHEN
DISCARDING THE COFFEE GROUNDS.
