Cappuccino is a mixture of coffee and milk froth. You can use your machine
to make real cappuccino.
To make cappuccino, besides other ingredients you should have ready a con-
tainer half filled with skimmed or low-fat milk, and some large cups.
The lower the fat content of the milk, the more solid will be the froth. Using
the steam pipe you can produce perfect milk froth – just take care that the
milk does not boil.
NB: you should use large cups.
Turn the power switch to ●. The red operating display will light up. When the
green operating display lights up, the machine is ready.
SPlace the container half filled with milk below the steam pipe in such a way
that the nozzle is a little below the surface of the milk. Never let the steam
pipe be completely covered by the milk.
First of all, open the steam valve slowly by turning the knob one revolution
counterclockwise 8. Then open the valve completely.
Move the container with the milk in a circle below the steam pipe, taking
care that the nozzle should only be a little below the surface of the milk. The
steam pipe has small openings through which it must be possible for air to
be sucked in – so these must not be covered by the milk. Take care that the
milk is not allowed to boil – otherwise it will not foam.
When the milk has become frothy, close the steam valve by turning the knob
clockwise, and remove the container. Let the frothy milk stand for about 15
seconds, before you add it to the coffee.
Add the milk froth to the coffee with a spoon, and then pour the milk in care-
fully at the edge of the cup. Then dust the milk froth with cinnamon, cocoa,
nutmeg or chocolate powder. Done!
TIP:
If you want to make coffee immediately after foaming milk, you must
refill the water tank and lower the operating temperature of the
machine – otherwise the coffee will taste burnt. To lower the operating
temperature, turn the knob to and let some water run off without
any ground coffee. After this you will be able to make coffee again.
