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 one mug underneath the brew head
and select Single Espresso. Once the
espresso has finished brewing, slowly pour
a small amount of the steamed milk, about
1½ to 2 ounces [15 to 57 g], into the mug
with the espresso.
4. Serve immediately.

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.
Makes 1 serving
1 espresso capsule
¼ cup [60 ml] milk (dairy or nondairy)
1. Put the 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 one demitasse/espresso cup
underneath the brew head and select
Single Espresso. Once the espresso has
finished brewing, spoon one tablespoon
of the frothed milk on top.
4. Serve immediately.

Americano

Simply stated an Americano is an espresso
with extra hot water. It is a great halfway point
between the assertive flavour of an espresso
and a full cup of coffee.
Makes 1 serving
1 lungo espresso capsule or
2 standard espresso capsules,
depending on strength preference
²⁄ ³ to ¾ cup [150 to 175 ml] hot water
1. Put 1 espresso capsule into the unit.
2. Hold a 6- to 8-ounce [170 - 227 g]
cup/mug underneath the steam wand.
Select HOT WATER and allow water to flow
into the cup/mug until it is about two-thirds
full. Press START/STOP knob to stop water
when desired amount is reached.
3. Place the cup/mug with the hot water
already in it underneath the brew head and
select Double Espresso if using a lungo
capsule. If using 2 capsules, brew 2 single
espressos.
4. Serve immediately.

Flat White

A simple way to describe this increasingly
popular coffee shop drink would be "a small
strong latte." It typically has a higher
proportion of espresso to milk and
slightly less foam than a latte.
Makes 1 serving
1 lungo espresso capsule
(or 2 standard espresso capsules)
¼ cup [60 ml] milk (dairy or nondairy)
1. Put 1 espresso capsule, either a lungo or
one of the standard espresso capsules,
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,
