Preparing
Cappuccino
In addition to preparing
espresso, you also use your
"Espresso Pronto" to froth
milk for cappucino. Cappu-
cino reportedly takes its
name from the chocolate
hues of the
robes
worn by
the Capuchin monks who
favored this delicious desert
coffee. While cappuccino is
traditionally made up of
espresso and frothed milk,
it can be tailored to one's
own taste with cinnamon,
sugar, chocolate flakes, or
even liquor. Its versatility
makes cappucino a world-
wide gourmet choice.
As long as your "Espresso
Pronto" is turned on and
the water reservoir is pro-
perly filled, you can use the
steaming feature. There is
no need to prepare espres-
so before using'this
steaming feature.
.
For best results, you sho~
use the "Perfect Froth"
attachment (e). if it is not in
place, attach it now (see
figure 16). KRUPS "Perfect
Froth" attachment lets you
froth milk perfectly for
making cappuccino.

Frothing Milk
for Cappuccino
Step 1
. The
first step in making
cappucino is to make
espresso. See section
"Preparing Espresso".
"
When preparing cappuc-
cino use a cappuccino .
cup which has a capacity
of at least 5 oz. You
should fill the cup '/2 way
with espresso.
. Make sure that the con-
trol dial is in the "0" posi-
tion before turning on the
machine.
Step 2
. Take a stainless steel
frothing pitcher and fill it
.
'/3 to '/2 full with fresh.
cold milk and set aside.
This amount of milk will
yield enough froth for
two cups of cappuccino.
If you need more froth,
repeat these steps.
. We recommend using
skim or 2% milk if you pre-
fer a stiff, dense froth. Use
regular milk if you prefer a
more liquid type of froth.
AOTE:
When you start frothing milk,
there will be a thumping
sound which occurs during
the steam preparation. This
results from the interval con-
trolled water pump conden-
sing water into steam.
As the thumping sound
begins a few drops of water
will come out of the steam
nozzle before entirely
c.hanging over to steam.

mostat light goes out,
