P rgatitja:
Step 1: Heat the water
Different models may vary, but make sure you pour enough water into the tank
of the machine so that the pump pipes are fully submerged. Turn on the
power and the pump to pump water into the boiler. Turn on the boiler to
heat the water. The handle that holds the coffee is called the group
handle and this should be locked into the machine. The light on the
machine will go out when the water is at the correct temperature. Turn off
the boiler and press the dosage button to let water flow through the
handle for about 10 seconds. This will clean it through and heat it to the
same temperature as the water.
Step 2: Add the chocolate
Put a teaspoon of chocolate powder in the bottom of a coffee cup.
Step 3: Add the coffee
Your machine should come with a dosing spoon to measure out the coffee. For a
single shot of espresso you will need one spoonful of coffee (7 grams),
and for a double shot you will need 2 spoonfuls (14 grams). Put the
correct amount in the filter basket and tap it to create a level surface.
Use the tamper provided to compact the coffee. This will ensure the water
doesn't flow through it too fast.
Step 4: Filter
Lock the group handle into the machine and put the coffee cup underneath. Turn
on the dosage button. The coffee should take 14-18 seconds to filter
through for a single espresso and 20-25 seconds for a double, after which
you should turn off the dosage button. If it is filtering through too
fast, add a bit more coffee and compact it more firmly. If you are
grinding your own coffee beans, grind them more finely.
Step 5: Steam the milk
Milk can be steamed using the steam arm on your coffee machine. Turn the arm
on full for 5 seconds before inserting it into the milk, as this will
clean it through. If you want a frothy, cappuccino-style topping, insert
the arm into the jug of milk so that the tip is just below the surface. If
you want a smoother, café latte-style topping, position the arm so it goes
down the side and to the bottom of the jug. Turn it back on full and wait
a few moments until the sides of the jug are hot enough to be
uncomfortable to the touch.
Turn off and take the jug away. Wipe the steam arm and turn it on to clean
it through once more.
Step 6: Add the milk
Tap the jug on a work surface and swirl the milk around to create a shiny
surface with the consistency of thick custard. Carefully pour the milk on
top of the chocolate espresso mixture and serve.
