2) HOW TO MAKE A
CAPPUCCINO OR LATTE
A cappuccino is an espresso topped with
steamed and frothed milk (1/3 espresso,
1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 frothed milk),
traditionally served lukewarm in a cup.
A latte is an espresso topped with
steamed and frothed milk (1/3 espresso,
topped with steamed milk and about 1cm
of frothed milk), traditionally served in a
glass wrapped with a serviette.
• The first step in making a
cappuccino/latte is to make a short
espresso (Follow steps in ‘How to
make an Espresso’).
Frothing the milk
• Fill the small glass carafe 1/3 full with cold
milk (skim milk is the easiest to froth).
• Hold the carafe below the froth
enhancer. Immerse the froth enhancer
10mm into the milk and rotate the
Espresso/Steam Selector Control to
the ‘STEAM’ position. Gently move the
carafe in a circular motion around the
froth enhancer.
• When the milk begins to increase in
volume, immerse the froth enhancer
deeper into the milk to further heat
the milk. Do not allow the milk to boil.
Steaming the milk
• Remove the froth enhancer from the
steam tube and follow the above
instructions for frothing milk. Use this
method when less froth is required, for
example, to heat the milk for flat white
coffee.
• Turn the Espresso/Steam Selector
Control to the ‘STANDBY’ position to
stop the steaming function before
removing the carafe.
• Add the frothed or steamed milk to each
cup of freshly brewed espresso coffee and
spoon on the frothed milk where required.
• Switch the power off at the power
outlet, unplug the power cord, remove
all steam pressure and allow the
appliance to cool.
