CHOICE OF INGREDIENTS

Coffee

Opt for coffee that is suitable for filter coffee makers. Most commercially available ground filter coffee can be found in most good supermarkets. Avoid special espresso ground coffee because it can be too strong and bitter for this type of preparation. Close the packet of ground filter coffee carefully after use. To ensure the coffee stays fresh during storage, seal the packet of coffee after removing as much air as possible. Once opened, the packet of coffee should be kept in the fridge.

What variety of coffee should I choose?

■ For full-flavoured coffee

Go for pure Arabica coffee for use in filter coffee machines or coffee mainly made up of Arabica blends. Traditionally roasted coffee is preferred because its flavour offers more complexity and finesse.

■ For strong coffee

Choose a blend of Robusta and Arabica beans for a more robust tasting coffee.

Milk

■ This appliance allows you to froth and/or heat milk in two different ways in terms of frothing and temperature.

■ You may use skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole milk.

■ The use of special milk (enriched, soya, etc.) may give less satisfactory results particularly in terms of the

quality of the froth.

■ We always recommend using fresh, cold milk for best results.

Your ideas

■ To flavour your drinks, you can use syrup, (hazelnut, vanilla, caramel, cookies n’cream, gingerbread, etc.).

■ You can use caramel or chocolate toppings to garnish your drink.

■ Chocolate or coloured vermicelli, chocolate flakes, toasted hazelnuts and mini-marshmallows will give your

drinks a decorative touch.

Note: do not put ingredients such as syrup, dessert toppings or pieces of chocolate, etc directly into the milk jug.

MAKING COFFEE

You can make the coffee separately from the milk or at the same time. To do this:

■ Open the lid (a) - fig.5.

■ Fill the water tank with cold water (b) - fig.6.

■ Place a No. 4 filter paper in the filter holder - fig.8. Check that the filter holder is correctly in place. If this

is not the case, insert the filter holder vertically them fold down the handle - fig.7.

■ Measure in the required quantity of coffee - fig.9.

Dosage : We recommend using one level measuring spoon (n) of coffee per large cup.
