How To Make Cappuccino - DeLonghi ECOV311.AZ Manual

ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If
pressing is excessive, coffee delivery will be slow and the
froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coffee delivery
will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and light
coloured.
4. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder
and attach to the appliance. Rotate the handle firmly to-
wards the right (fig. 6) to avoid water leaking out.
5. Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts (fig.
12). You are recommended to heat the cups before making
the coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water or placing
them to warm on the cup shelf on top of the appliance for
at least 15-20 minutes (fig. 13).
6. Make sure the OK light (fig. 8) is on (if off, wait until it
comes on), then press the coffee button (fig. 9). Once the
required amount of coffee has been delivered, interrupt
delivery by pressing the same button.
7. To remove the filter holder, turn the handle from right to
left.
Danger of burns! To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while
the appliance is delivering coffee.
8. To eliminate the used coffee grounds, hold the filter holder
upside down and tap (fig. 14).
9. To turn the appliance off, press the ON/OFF button.
HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS
1. Preheat the appliance as described in the section "Tips for
a hotter coffee", making sure the filter holder is attached.
This obtains a hotter coffee.
Please note: use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the
pack by the following symbol.
The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod producers and enables espresso
coffee to be prepared simply and cleanly.
2. Place the ESE filter for coffee pods (with the
on the bottom) in the filter holder.
3. Insert the pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter
(fig. 15). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to
position the pod on the filter correctly.
4. Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always rotate as
far as it will go (fig. 6).
5. Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous section.

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO

1. Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the previous
paragraphs, using sufficiently large cups.
2. Press the
come on (fig. 17).
3. In the meantime, fill a recipient with about 100 grams of
milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. The milk must be
at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size
of the recipient, bear in mind that the milk doubles or tri-
ples in volume (fig. 18).
Please note:
refrigerator temperature.
4. Place the recipient containing the milk under the cappucci-
no maker.
5. Wait until the OK light comes on. This indicates that
the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam
production.
6. Open the steam turning the steam dial towards + for a
few seconds to eliminate any water in the circuit. Close the
steam.
7. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk a few milli-
metres (fig. 19). Take care not to immerse the raised line
on the cappuccino maker (shown by the arrow in fig. 19).
Turn the dial anticlockwise (fig. 20) for at least half a turn.
Steam is delivered from the cappuccino maker, giving the
milk a creamy frothy appearance. To obtain a creamier
froth, immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk and ro-
tate the container with slow upward movements.
8. When the milk has doubled in volume, immerse the cap-
puccino maker deeply and continue heating the milk.
When the required temperature is reached (60°C is ideal),
interrupt steam delivery by rotating the steam dial clock-
wise and at the same time press the steam button
again.
9. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso
coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweet-
en to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little
cocoa powder.
Please note:
• to prepare more than one cappuccino, first make all the coffees then at the end
symbol
prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
• to make coffee again after the milk has been frothed, cool the boiler first or the
coffee will be burnt. To cool, place a container under the filter holder spouts,
press the coffee button and deliver the water until the OK light goes off. Re-
lease the coffee button and then proceed to make coffee.
You are recommended to deliver steam for a
maximum of 60 seconds and never to froth
milk more than three times consecutively.
