Cappuccino
Cappuccino reportedly takes its name from
the chocolate hues of the robes worn by the
Capuchin monks who favored this delicious
dessert coffee. Cappuccino is traditionnally
made up of 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk
and 1/3 froth and can be tailored to one’s
own taste with cinnamon, sugar, chocolate
flakes or even liquor. Its versatility makes
cappuccino a world wide gourmet choice.
Making Cappuccino
If the Cappuccino nozzle is not attached,
attach it now (20).
1.Pour 4 to 6 oz of fresh, cold milk into a
small pitcher. Do not use a pitcher cleaned
with hot water and still warm. The pitcher
should fit underneath the cappuccino
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.
4a) Turn the steam release knob (e2)
counterclockwise to release steam(21).
b) Keep pitcher slightly tilted so that you
can always see the position of the nozzle
as you froth the milk.
Always ensure some clearance between
the cappuccino nozzle end and
bottom wall of the pitcher, to allow
steam exhaust.
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 willavoid
splattering of the hot milk and froth.
d) If you prefer «stiff» froth, let the frothed
milk stand for a minute.
ATTENTION :
Clogged steam nozzle
Milk residuals will build up in the tip of the
steam nozzle after frothing milk. To avoid
clogging, remove the plastic housing of the
cappuccino nozzle (22) once appliance is cold,
for easy cleaning. Then follow «cleaning the
steam nozzle» as described in the section
«Cleaning the cappuccino nozzle».
Don’t forget to replace the tip of the nozzle
and screw on tightly (23).
Steaming without making
Espresso (Steamplug)
CAUTION
Make sure your appliance is cool and all
pressure has been released (see CAUTION-
PRESSURE).
1.Fill the boiler container with cold water.
CAUTION
For steam only, do not fill the glass carafe
above the 2-cups marking. This amount
will always provide enough steam for
frothing.
2.Have your pitcher with milk ready to heat.
3.Place glass carafe, with lid under filter
holder (18). Make sure the side knob (e2) is
set on cup Espresso position. Then turn the
selector knob (S) to the left in Espresso ON
position. The left indicator will light ON blue
(19).
4.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
