Making Cappuccino
■ If the “Perfect Froth“ is not attached,
attach it now
(see figure 14).
1. Pour 4 to 6 oz of fresh, cold milk into a
small pitcher. The pitcher should fit
underneath the steam nozzle.
We recommend using 2 % or skim for a
stiff, dense froth. Use regular whole milk
if you prefer a creamy froth.
2. Follow the directions from step 1 to 12 in
section “Making Espresso“.
3. As soon as the first few drops of coffee
are forced through the filter holder you
can start frothing the milk.
Place the tip of the steam nozzle half way
into the pitcher of milk.
4.a) Turn the steam release knob
counterclockwise to release steam
(see figure 15).
b) Keep the pitcher slightly tilted so that
you can always see the position of the
nozzle as you froth the milk.
In just a few seconds, your milk will
begin to froth. As the froth rises, keep
lowering the pitcher so that the tip of
the steam nozzle is always just slightly
beneath the surface of the rising froth.
Note: Do not bring milk to a boil (this
will happen if large bubbles start to
form on the surface of the milk).
c)When you have finished frothing milk,
close the steam release knob by turning
it clockwise while the nozzle is still
immersed in the milk. This will avoid
splattering of the hot milk and froth.
d) If you prefer “stiff“ froth, let the frothed
milk stand for a minute.
ATTENTION:
Clogged up steam nozzle
Milk residuals will build up in the tip of the
steam nozzle after frothing milk. It is very
important that you wipe the steam nozzle
with a damp cloth after each use. This will
help prevent the steam nozzle from clogging
and will ensure perfect frothing results.
However, should the steam nozzle become
clogged, proceed as follows:
Let the steam nozzle cool down. Unscrew
the tip and clean under warm water.
To unscrew the tip, use the opening in the
measuring spoon. Make sure that the inside
of the tip of the steam nozzle is free, so that
the steam can pass freely to froth milk
again.
■ Replace the tip of the nozzle and screw on
tightly
(see figure 16).
CAUTION
Make sure your “Il Caffè Duomo“ is cool
and all pressure has been released
(see CAUTION - PRESSURE).
1.
Insert the steam build-up plug into the
filter holder
(see figure 17).
2. Fill the boiler container with cold water.
CAUTION:
For steam only, do not fill the glass carafe
above the 2-cup marking. This amount will
always provide enough steam for frothing.
3.
Have your pitcher with milk ready to heat.
4. Place glass carafe, with lid, unter filter
holder and turn machine “on“
(see figure 13).
5. Open the steam release knob immediately
after turning the machine on. Stand by
with your frothing pitcher.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the machine unattended at
this time.
It will take approximately 30 to 60
seconds after turning the machine on for
the steam to come out of the steam
nozzle. Proceed with steps
4.a) and 4.b) in
the section “Making Cappuccino“.
6. When all steam is released, close the
steam release knob and turn off the
machine.
Caution:
If you do not need all the water for
steaming, proceed as follows:
a) turn off the machine,
b)release the remaining steampressure into
another container.
