Cortado; Macchiato - Cuisinart Coffee Center BaristaBar SS-4N1T Series Instruction/Recipe Booklet

Makes 1 serving
1 lungo espresso capsule
(or 2 standard espresso
capsules)
¹⁄ ³ cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
1. Put 1 espresso capsule 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 mug underneath the brew
head and select Double Espresso if
using a lungo capsule. If using 2
capsules, brew 2 single espressos.
Once the espresso has finished
brewing, slowly pour about 3 ounces
of the steamed milk into the mug with
the espresso and then spoon 3 to 4
tablespoons of frothed milk on top.
4. Serve immediately.

Cortado

A cortado is very similar to a latte, but
instead of being heavy on milk, it calls for
equal parts espresso and milk and has no
foam on top.
Makes 1 serving
1 espresso capsule
¼ cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
1. Put the espresso capsule into the unit.

steamed milk, about 1½ to 2 ounces,
into the mug with the espresso.

Macchiato

A macchiato is a smaller espresso drink
topped with a little bit of foamed milk.
There are many interpretations around
the world, but here at Cuisinart we are
staying traditional, starting with the
perfect espresso.
