k. Raise the lever and turn the knob
counter clockwise until the funnel is
in front of the machine again (fig 8).
You are now ready to make more
espresso. (While turning the caro-
usel the used coffee is automatically
thrown into the internal used coffee
container).
11. MAKING CAPPUCCINO
(frothing milk)
Attention: When using the frother in
the steam position, never turn on the
pump.
Which kind of MILK? Always start
with cold milk. Skim milk
(0% fat) will
produce the most froth and will let you
taste "more" of the espresso. 1% or
2% milk will give you almost as much
froth as skim milk. Regular milk (3%
fat) will produce half the froth of skim
milk and will taste very rich.
Frothing
Tip: For a novice it is easier to froth
with a bit more milk. You will not waste
any milk since you can re-use it again
later. With practice you will be able to
froth small amounts of milk.
a. Use a 12 oz. or 16 oz. pitcher.
b. Fill the pitcher with 6 to 8 oz. of
cold milk (this will yield enough hot
milk and froth for two to three cups
of cappuccino).
c. Place the pitcher next to the frother.
d. Prepare your espresso as
described above (you might want
to brew the espresso directly into
your cappuccino cups.) Turn the
pump switch off and wait until the
yellow thermostat light turns off.
e. Now immerse the frother into the
pitcher (with the cylinder pushed
down) (see fig. 10) with the tip of
the frother completely immersed
in the milk (see fig. 11). The frother
should not touch the bottom of the
pitcher.
f. Now turn the selector switch to the
steam symbol (fig. 12b). Frothing
will start within 10 seconds. After
40 to 60 seconds you should have
plenty of froth and hot milk. To stop
frothing, turn the selector switch
back to the spout symbol, then
remove the pitcher and set it aside
for a few seconds for the froth to
settle.
Tip: If you like your milk extra hot, first
steam the milk for about 10 to 15 sec-
onds by pulling the cylinder of the
frother up (see fig. 10), then push it
down and frothing starts immediately.
Caution: If the milk starts boiling, im-
mediately stop frothing by turning the
selector switch back to the spout sym-
bol (fig 12.) Boiling milk will not pro-
duce any froth. Next time use more
cold milk to avoid boiling.
Not enough steam?
The steam output will stop abruptly
after 80 to 90 seconds. If you need
more steam at this time proceed as
follows:
• Make sure the lever is in the closed
position.
• Turn the selector switch to the spout
symbol and turn the pump on.
• As soon as some water comes out
of the spout, turn the pump switch
off again. This will take only 15 to 20
seconds.
• When you then turn the selector
switch to the steam symbol, you will
have 80 to 90 seconds of uninter-
rupted steam again.
12. MAKING CAFE LATTE
(steaming milk)
Attention: When using the frother in
the steam position, never turn on the
pump.
Follow the steps for espresso and
cappuccino above. Since you do not
want to froth the milk, just make sure
that the cylinder of the frother is
moved up (see fig. 10).
Attention: The steaming noise will
increase as the milk gets hotter. Stop
steaming before the milk starts boil-
ing. Always remember to turn the
