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 flavor 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 hot water 1. Put 1 espresso capsule into the unit. 2. Hold a 6- to 8-ounce 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 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, 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 a separate mug underneath the brew head and select Double Espresso if using a lungo capsule, or brew 2 single espressos, depending on strength preference. Once the espresso has finished brewing, slowly pour a small amount of the steamed milk, about half the volume of the espresso, into the mug with the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon. Top with a very thin layer of foam. 4. Serve immediately. 25
