BREWING ESPRESSO - FROTHING MILK FOR CAPPUCCINO
Let the espresso flow until you have
obtained the desired amount. Turn off
the brew switch and wait for the espres-
so to finish flowing from the filter holder
before removing the cups(s).
Always empty the used grounds from the
filter holder after preparing espresso.
Never knock the used grounds out of
your filter holder, we recommend that
you scoop them out for disposal.
Always use caution when
removing the filter holder from
the machine as it could be very hot.
Never attempt to move or remove
the filter holder from the machine
when brewing.
3) Brewing Espresso with Pods
Remove the larger filter basket from the
filter holder. Place the pod adapter into
the filter holder with its concave side
facing up. Then place the pod filter
basket into the filter holder.
Make sure the not ready indicator is
off and then insert the filter holder into the
brew head. Turn the handle carefully from
left to right until it is secure. When you
release the handle it will automatically
spring slightly back to the left. This indicates
that your filter holder is operating properly.
Place your pre-heated cup directly
beneath the two outlets on the bottom
of the filter holder. Remember, pods are
intended to produce only 1 serving of
espresso.
Press the brew switch, after a few seconds
espresso will begin to flow into the cup.
Turn off the switch when you have
obtained the desired amount of espres-
so. Allow espresso to finish flowing
before removing the cup.
FROTHING MILK FOR CAPPUC-
CINO
1) What you should know first
Frothing milk provides two of the three
essential components needed for great
cappuccino. By frothing you create the
characteristic thick, foamy topping for
cappuccino and the milk remaining in the
pitcher is steamed to just the right tempe-
rature to blend perfectly with a shot of
espresso. Only when these three elements
are combined in equal portions can you
have a true cappuccino. Your machine,
with its special "pannarello" frothing
attachment, makes frothing milk easy.
Keep in mind that the milk should be
steamed to around 160 degrees
Fahrenheit and to make sure it reaches
the proper temperature you will want to
use a cooking thermometer for at least
the first few times. An appropriate
thermometer can be purchased at almost
any local grocery store, supermarket or
Place the pod inside the filter. Make sure
that the edge of the pod does not extend
over the rim of the filter basket.
