steam wand so the bottom of the wand
is just below the surface of the milk at an
angle. Select the Steam function and
press the START/STOP knob to start
steaming. While holding the mug at an
angle, allow the steam to move the milk
around. Once the milk begins to increase in
volume, lift the mug up higher so the steam
wand immerses deeper into the milk (this
will prevent large bubbles from forming and
will make a nice fine milk foam). When the
foam has almost reached the top of the
mug and you can feel that the milk in the
mug is quite hot, press the START/STOP
knob to stop steaming. Tap the mug a few
times to remove any larger bubbles.
3. Place one demitasse/espresso cup
underneath the brew head and select
Single Espresso. Once the espresso has
finished brewing, spoon one tablespoon
of the frothed milk on top.
4. Serve immediately.
Americano
Simply stated an Americano is an espresso
with extra hot water. It is a great halfway point
between the assertive flavor of an espresso
and a full cup of coffee.
Makes 1 serving
1
lungo espresso capsule or 2
standard espresso capsules,
depending on strength preference
²⁄ ³ to ¾ cup hot water
1. Put 1 espresso capsule into the unit.
2. Hold a 6- to 8-ounce cup/mug underneath
the steam wand. Select HOT WATER and
allow water to flow into the cup/mug until it
is about two-thirds full. Press START/STOP
knob to stop water when desired amount
is reached.
3. Place the cup/mug with the hot water
already in it underneath the brew head and
select Double Espresso if using a lungo
capsule. If using 2 capsules, brew 2 single
espressos.
4. Serve immediately.
Flat White
A simple way to describe this increasingly
popular coffee shop drink would be "a small
strong latte." It typically has a higher
proportion of espresso to milk and slightly
less foam than a latte.
Makes 1 serving
1
lungo espresso capsule
(or 2 standard espresso capsules)
¼
cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
1. Put 1 espresso capsule, either a lungo or
one of the standard espresso capsules, into
the unit.
2. Put the milk into a heatproof mug. Hold
the mug in one hand and place under the
steam wand so the bottom of the wand is
just below the surface of the milk at an
angle. Select the Steam function and press
the START/STOP knob to start steaming.
While holding the mug at an angle, allow
the steam to move the milk around.
Once the milk begins to increase in volume,
lift the mug up higher so the steam wand
immerses deeper into the milk (this will
prevent large bubbles from forming and
will make a nice fine milk foam). When the
foam has almost reached the top of the
mug and you can feel that the milk in the
mug is quite hot, press the START/STOP
knob to stop steaming. Tap the mug a few
times to remove any larger bubbles.
3. Place a separate mug underneath the brew
head and select Double Espresso if using a
lungo capsule, or brew 2 single espressos,
depending on strength preference. Once
the espresso has finished brewing, slowly
pour a small amount of the steamed milk,
about half the volume of the espresso, into
the mug with the espresso, holding back
the foam with a spoon. Top with a very thin
layer of foam.
4. Serve immediately.
