Latte Macchiato
Latte macchiato traditionally comprises three layers: a bottom layer of hot milk (2/3), a top layer
of frothed milk (1/3) and an espresso which is poured through the milk froth. As milk containing
fat has a higher density than espresso, the coffee floats on the milk.
The espresso cup and the latte macchiato glass should be thoroughly preheated as the
drink is prepared in several steps.
1. Pour the milk into the small milk jug and froth up a third of the milk (see the "Preparation"
chapter – "Preparing Milk Froth"). The rest of the milk is just heated and remains liquid.
2. Pour the hot milk and the milk froth into the latte macchiato glass.
3. Then place the latte macchiato glass down on the hotplate (1) so that the milk remains as
hot as possible.
4. Prepare the espresso (see the "Preparation" chapter – "Making Espresso").
If the control lamps
after the milk frothing is too high to make an espresso. In this case, wait until the device
has cooled down or speed up the cooling process by dispensing water (see the "Tips"
and "Preparation" chapters – "Dispensing Hot Water").
5. Pour the hot espresso through the milk froth at the edge of the glass.
Caffè Americano
Caffè Americano is a type of coffee beverage which is prepared by diluting an espresso with
hot water. As it contains the same amount of acid and caffeine as a normal espresso, it has a
less strong flavour and is a popular alternative to a traditional coffee at the end of a meal.
An original Caffè Americano is mixed 1:1.
1. First prepare hot water (see the "Preparation" chapter – "Dispensing Hot Water").
Allow this to run into a coffee cup.
2. Place the coffee cup under the portafilter and prepare an espresso (see the "Preparation"
chapter – "Making Espresso").
