cappucino
47 Cappuccino is espresso with a frothy milk top.
48 You'll need a mug or small jug containing cold milk, and a cup to collect drips.
49 To allow room for the froth, don't fill the mug more than two thirds full.
50 Ideally, the mug should be tall and narrow, as the milk must be deep enough to
cover the end of the frother without it hitting the bottom of the mug.
51 We've found that semi-skimmed milk gives better results than whole milk. You'll
need to experiment to find which type works best for you in your area.
52 Don't try to make too much froth at one time. Too much steam will flatten the milk,
leaving you with nothing but hot, watery milk.
frothing
53 For best results, do the frothing straight after you have made your coffee, while the
appliance is still hot.
54 Swing the frother round so it's clear of the drip tray.
55 Bring the mug containing the milk up to the frother and hold it so that the end of
the frother is just under the surface of the milk.
caution
to avoid the risk of scalding, keep fingers, etc. clear of the steam.
