7. When the required froth is obtained, interrupt

steam delivery by pressing the button.

Important! Danger of burns

Stop steam delivery before removing the container with the frothed milk to avoid burns caused by splashes of boiling milk.

8. Add the milk froth to the coffee prepared pre-

viously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and, if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.

Cleaning the cappuccino maker after use.

Clean the cappuccino maker each time you use it to avoid the build-up of milk residues or blockages.
