h) Garnish with cocoa powder or chocolate sprinkles.
Note: To increase the temperature of the frothed milk, stop the frothing
action, set the pitcher aside and pull off the black frother sleeve. Now insert
the frothing wand into the milk again and continue steaming. The milk will
get hotter without any additional frothing action.
Note: You can also first froth the milk directly inside your cappuccino cup
and then add a shot of espresso: Prepare the porta filter and insert into
the machine. Then froth the milk inside the cappuccino cup (steps c to e)
above. Now move the cup with the frothed milk under the porta filter and
add the shot of espresso. This way you don't waste any milk.
9. Cleaning the Frothing Sleeve and Steam Wand
It is extremely easy to clean the frothing system of the EC100, especially if it is
done right after frothing milk.
Note: Clean immediately after use.
• Pull the black frothing sleeve down and off the steam wand and clean under
warm running water.
• Fill a cup with a bit of water and immerse the steam wand of the frother.
• Turn the Selector Dial to the steam symbol and let steam push into the water
for a few seconds.
• Return the Selector Dial to the middle position.
• Replace the black frothing sleeve.
Caution: the frothing wand may be hot!
Note: If no steam comes out of the steam wand, hardened milk blocks its path.
Turn the Selector Dial to the middle position. Carefully use a needle to loosen
the milk residue. Then steam again.

10. Preparing Latte

Latte is the combination of one or two shots of espresso with an equal or larger
amount of hot steamed milk without or very little froth.
Note: Without the black frothing sleeve, the steam wand will steam, not froth
the milk.
Remove the black frothing sleeve. Then proceed with steaming and espresso
as explained in chapter 8.
Caution: the steam wand might be hot.

11. Turning OFF the EC100

• After making the last coffee wait for approx. 15 seconds so that the thermo
block can release any steam and rest-water into the tray. This is perfectly
normal.
• Now push the On/Off button to turn off the machine. The orange On/Off light
is off.
Note: When not in use remove the Porta Filter. This will extend the life of the
seal inside the brew head.
12. Cleaning & Maintenance
• Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and allow the appliance to
cool down before cleaning.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
• Do not use harsh abrasives to clean. Wipe down the appliance housing with
a damp cloth.
