Making Cappuccino
1. Cappuccino is a mixture of espresso coffee, milk and frothed milk.
Fill a deep, narrow metal pitcher 1/2 full with fresh, cold milk and
set next to the espresso/cappuccino maker.
2. Place the frothing booster tip up over the end of the steam jet.
Follow Steps 1 through 9 on page 4 for making espresso.
3. When the coffee starts to flow into the carafe, hold the pitcher by
the handle and bring up to the steam jet. Insert froth booster
tip just under the surface of the milk. Turn the function knob
gradually to and froth the milk. Move the pitcher in a
slightly circular motion.
REMINDER: Before frothing milk, make sure the tip of the froth
boother tip is just under the surface of the milk. Otherwise, splat-
tering may occur.
4. After frothing, turn the function knob to “BREW,” to allow the
appliance to complete the espresso making process.
5. Remove the pitcher from the steam jet.
6. When the coffee has stopped flowing into the carafe, turn the
function knob to the “OFF” position.
7. BEFORE REMOVING THE FILTER HOLDER OR THE SAFETY
LID, TURN THE FUNCTION KNOB TO AND W
AIT UNTIL
NO FURTHER STEAM EMERGES FROM THE STEAM JET.
This will allow any extra steam to be released and will clean the
steam jet of any excess milk. Then turn the function knob back to
the “OFF” position.
8. Serve the hot, frothy milk by spooning it on top of your cup of
espresso. The froth will not readily pour from the container, since
it separates from the heated milk.
The best frothed milk is obtained when fresh, cold, skim milk is used.
When frothing milk, the volume of milk will double.
The top half will be frothed, the bottom half will be milk. Fill a cappuc-
cino cup 1/3 full of freshly brewed espresso coffee. Pour in an equal
amount of warm milk and top with frothed milk.

Before making your first carafe of espresso, we suggest that you let
the water brew through the machine two times without coffee, following
the instructions. This will thoroughly clean the unit.
Making Espresso Coffee
1. Make sure the function knob is in the “OFF” position. Plug the
espresso/cappuccino maker into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Remove the safety lid by turning it counter-clockwise and remove

3. For espresso fill carafe to two or four cups of cold water, using the
markings on the carafe for reference. For cappuccino, fill the
carafe to for 2 cups or to the bottom of the metal band for 4
cups. Pour water into the water reservoir.
4. Close the safety lid tightly by turning clockwise.
5. Remove the filter basket and holder from the espresso/cappucci-
