9. MAKING CAPPUCCINOS AND MILK BASED
COFFEES

9.1 Preparing the milk carafe (E)

Please note:
To avoid the preparation of milk with insufficient froth or large
bubbles, always clean the milk carafe as described in headings
"9.6 Cleaning the milk carafe after use" and "13.10 Cleaning the
milk carafe (E)".

9.2 What milk to use?

The quality of the froth will vary depending on:
• the temperature of the milk or vegetable drink used (for
best results, always use milk or vegetable drink straight
from the fridge, 5 °C);
• type of milk or vegetable drink;
• the brand used;
• ingredients and nutritional values.
Cow's milk
Whole
(fat >3,5%)
Semi-skimmed

1.8%)

5. Raise the flap, then attach the carafe to the connector
(A17) and push fully home (fig. 24): the machine emits a
beep (if the beep function is enabled);

and under the milk spout (E5). The milk spout — only
the milk spout — can be made longer by adjusting the
extension (E6);
7. Select the desired drink as described in the following
sections.
Please note:
If "Energy Saving" mode is enabled (see section "6.4 General"),
there may be a few seconds delay before the drink is delivered.
