BEFORE FIRST USE, CLEAN AND PRI M E YOUR M A CHI NE
WHAT YOU NEED ON HAND:
• Ceramic mug (included) or a stainless steel frothing pitc her .
• Coffee should be ground to a fine espresso grind that resembles
salt
grains. Use a quality grinder or burr mill, such as a SiFENE
burr mill.

or bottled
water .

inserted by placing it from the left and locking it into the
right. This may require force. The handle should be aligned with
the lock symbol and
pointing directly at you when standing in
front of the machine.

2. Plug in the machine and turn control knob on the left side of the machine to “Brew . ”
3. Pour in your desired amount of cold milk into a the frothing pitcher, but allow enough room
for expansion of the foam (typically 1/3 or 1/2 of the top).
*Frothing texture is highly dependent upon the milk type used. 2% is recommended; whole
milk creates finer bubbles while skim milk creates larger bubbles.

H

4. Once the coffee begins to brew into the ceramic mug,
interrupt the brewing process by turning the control knob
to “Off,” place your frothing pitcher so that the frothing
wand is submerged about 1/2 -1” into the milk.
5. Turn the knob to “Steam.” This will take a few seconds to
heat up before bubbling. You should hear the steam coming
out. If it is silent, it may mean you are out of water and no
steam is coming out. If this happens, remove the frothing
pitcher from the frothing wand.
When you hear steam coming out, move the ceramic mug in
a circular motion until desired amount of froth is reached.
*It takes about 2 minutes to froth 4 oz. of milk to 165˚F heat.

2/3
steamed milk topped with milk foam.
