GENUINE ESPRESSO 
Espresso Is a far richer and
stronger brew than regular
coffee. It should be deep,

water pump condensing 
water into steam. As the
thumping sound begins a
few drops of water will 
come out of the steam
nozzle before entirely chan-
ging over to steam.
Step 3
.Tobegin, press "6" but-
ton (See figuree), A 
message will appear on
the display,
"Push/Steam" .
. At this time, take your
pitcher of milk and insert 
steam nozzle half way

the ",, button (See
figure
e). Leave the
steam nozzle in the milk
for approximately 45-60 
seconds depending on 
how much froth you
want and the type of 
milk you are using.
Note:
. Donotbring milkto a
boil (this will happen if 
large bubbles start 
forming at the surface of 
the milk).
.Do not let the "Perfect
Froth Attachment" touch
the bottom of the pitcher.
Step 4
. After the milk is frothed,
keep the "Perfect Froth" 
in the milk until you have
pressed the "6" button.
This willstop the steam-
ing and prevent any
splattering from occur- 
ring.
. After milk Is frothed, set
aside. If you like very
stiff froth, let the pitcher 
sit for a few seconds.
.Now you are readyto
add the frothed milk to 
the waiting espresso.
Pour the milk into the
cup by holding back the 
froth with your spoon.
Fill the remainderof the 
cup with the milk and 
then spoon on the fro- 
thed milk. In Italy it Is 
normally one part

Frothing Milk 
Cause:
.Steam nozzle Isclogged.
.Milk is not fresh.
.The pitcher that you are

is recommended that

than to glass or plastic.
.The type of milk is not
suitable. We recommend 
using 2% or skim milk.
Whole milk is okay, but 
due to the fat molecules, 
it will not have as dense
a froth, as if you were to 
use 2% or skim milk.
