Using Coffee Beans:

1. Fill the beans container (A7) with coffee beans. Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans.

2. Turn the coffee taste selection dial (B6) to set the required strength. Turn it clockwise for stronger coffee. The dial position between MIN and MAX adjusts the quantity of beans the machine will grind.

3. Place one or two cups under the coffee spouts (A12). Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup for a creamier coffee.

4. Press the button corresponding to the required coffee (1 short, 2 short, 1 long, or 2 long coffees).

7. When you have obtained the required froth, stop steam delivery by turning the steam dial back to the 0 position.

8. Add the milk froth to the coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and, if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.

Always clean the cappuccino maker (A18) after use to avoid the build-up of milk residues and prevent clogging.

1. Place a container under the cappuccino maker and deliver a little water for a few seconds by rotating the steam dial (A19) to the I position. Then turn the steam dial to the 0 position to stop the flow of hot water.

2. Wait a few minutes for the cappuccino maker to cool down. Grip the handle of the cappuccino maker tube firmly in one hand and with the other rotate the cappuccino maker anti-clockwise, then remove by pulling downwards.
