DCM1 instruction manual_figs out.qxp
Coffee should always be served in a warm cup, this will
keep the coffee hotter for longer and enhance the aroma.
An espresso shot in particular will get cold very quickly
• •
if poured into a cold cup. For this reason your Dualit
machine comes with its own cup warmer.
Place the cups on the warmer. Alternatively use the
• •
hot water function and rinse the cups to warm them.
Dualit also produces cleverly designed stainless steel
• •
coffee cups with a double insulated wall to keep your
coffee hotter for longer.

THE PERFECT COFFEE

You are looking for an espresso with a 2–3mm crema and
a rich, dark brown colour underneath (the exact colour
will depend on the bean you have chosen).
It should have a taste that is full of flavour (whether
• •
mild and subtle or rich and strong) and should not be
bitter. It should stay hot to the bottom of the espresso.
A cappuccino should comprise an espresso topped
• •
with steamed milk and a head of froth. The
proportions are roughly equal.
The milk should be steamed for long enough to ensure
• •
the cappuccino (or latté) is hot when served.
A café latté contains one-third espresso and nearly
• •
two-thirds steamed milk, the milk should be fully
frothed, giving the latté a more velvety texture.
