* To obtain good coffee, the grinding is extremely important. It should take 25-30 sec-
onds to make the coffee.
* If the coffee is too coarse you will obtain light coffee with ve ry little white froth, if it is too
fine you will obtain dark coffee with no froth.
* Good quality coffee is obtained by using freshly ground coffee of even coarseness
(which can be obtained only if the grinder has sharp mills) used in the right quantity
(approximately 6/7 grams per dose).
* It is important to use freshly ground coffe e, because once it has been ground it
q u i ckly loses its aroma, and the fat substances it contains go off. It is therefo r e
advisable to try and finish it by the evening.
• Properly warm cups are extremely important in obtaining creamy coffee.
CAPPUCCINO, MILK AND OTHER HOT DRINKS
Dip the wand connected to the steam tap into the drink to be heated, then turn the
suitable knob to deliver steam to the nozzle on the tip of the spout.
The steam gurgles in the liquid releasing heat, bringing it to the boiling temperature.
To whip up milk in order to make cappuccino, use a tall and narrow container filled
in half, acting as follows:
A) Place the container underneath the steam spout so that the nozzle touches the bot-
tom, turn the steam tap and bring the milk nearly to the boil.
B) Lower the container so that the nozzle is near the surface of the milk, then move the
container so the nozzle gets in and out of the milk.
Perform this operation several times until the milk has frothed.
To make cappuccino add the hot and frothy milk to the hot coffee.
