CAPPUCCIN R LATTÉ
A cappuccino is an espresso topped with
steamed and frothed milk (1⁄3espresso,
1⁄3steamed milk, 1⁄3frothed milk), traditionally
served luke warm in a cup.
A latte is an espresso topped with
steamed and frothed milk (1⁄3espresso,
topped with steamed milk and about 10cm 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’).
•Fill the frothing jug 1/3 full with cold milk
(skim milk is the easiest to froth).
•Hold the frothing jug below the froth
enhancer. Immerse the froth enhancer
10mm into the milk and rotate the
Selector Control to the ‘STEAM’
position . Gently move the frothing
jug 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.
•Turn the Selector Control to the
‘STA DBY’ position to stop the steaming
function before removing the jug.
•Add the steamed milk to each cup of
freshly brewed espresso coffee and spoon
on the frothed milk.
•Switch the power off at the power outlet,
unplug the power cord, remove all steam
pressure and allow the appliance to cool.
•Do not remove the water tank cap or the
filter holder until the steam pressure in
the appliance has been released. The
Pressure Indicator Button should drop
down and be flush with the top of the
water tank cap.
