6. PREPARING CAPPUCCINO
27
The water volume adjuster may be adjusted as desired. The half filled cup symbol represents a
short coffee (about 2 ounces for 1 cup). On the opposite side, the full filled cup represents a tall
coffee (about 8 ounces for 1 cup). Place the water volume adjuster at any point, depending on
the taste you prefer. The more water you use, the softer the coffee flavour will be; less water
means a stronger coffee flavour.
You can stop the water flow at any time by turning the switch onto brew coffee position.
Filter holder removal:
After having brewed coffee, wait 10 to 15 seconds before removing the filter-holder.
·
To make more Espresso, or to remove the filter-holde r, move handle to the left. Be careful, as hot
water will be on top of the ground coffee or on the top of the coffee pod in the holder;
· Knock out used coffee grinds or coffee pod from filter using filter retainer to keep it from fallin
out. For more Espresso repeat the above steps;
· After Espresso preparation, rinse the the filter-holder and the used Cremaker filter.
Notes:
·
If you have just used ground coffee and want to use a coffee pod now, simply turn press the coffee
botton of your machine, and let the water clean the remaining powder;
· With the coffee pod, you may prepare only one Espresso at a time!
“Cappuccino” is the name given by the Italians to the mixture of Espresso and milk foam. This foam
is obtained by using the Cappuccino nozzle. Then the foam and a little bit of milk are blended with
the coffee.
Note:
use larger cups (5–6 oz.) than those used for Espresso.
Preparing the appliance:
· Remove the water tank by pulling it outward and fill it with cold water (water tank can also be
filled by raising the cover lid);
· Insert plug into a wall outlet;
· Turn the machine ON. The power ON indicator lamp will light;
· When the temperature OK indicator light glows, the machine is ready to produce steam.
· Slowly open steam control . A little portion of water will flow from the nozzle. Wait until steam
starts to come out from the nozzle and close steam control.
Making Steam:
· Place the frothing jug half-filled with low fat milk under the cappuccino nozzle so that its tip is
just under the surface of the milk;
· Press on the steam botton and wait untill the temperature indicator lamp will light;
· Slowly open steam control to release steam;
· Move pitcher in circular motion keeping the tip of frother just under surface of milk as it begins
to froth. The air intake holes on side of frother should not be immersed in the milk. Do not let
milk come to a boil since it will not froth;
· When you have made enough froth, close steam control, and remove the pitcher;
· Press on the coffee function to assure you refill the boiler;
· Spoon the froth onto the Espresso in each cup and gently pour the hot milk along the side of the
cup. Top each cup of cappuccino with a dash of cinnamon, cocoa, nutmeg or chocolate shavings.
