STEAMING THE MILK
(If you don’t require steamed milk, skip to “Making Espresso”.)
WARNING: BOTH STEAM TUBES WILL BE HOT DURING AND AFTER USE.
USE EXTREME CARE WHEN HANDLING.
Barista tip:
Always use cold whole milk or 2% low fat milk for steaming and frothing.
1. Check the sight glass to ensure that there is sufficient water in the boiler.
2. Be sure the lever is lowered, and that the steam knob is closed.
3. Wait for the green light to go off, indicating that the machine is ready to deliver steam.
Your la Pavoni machine is designed to steam milk two ways:
Method 1: Using the standard steam wand
1. Fill a stainless steel, ceramic, or glass container up to ¾ full with milk.
2. Insert the steam wand so that it is below the surface of the milk,
toward the bottom of the container.
3. Open the steam knob by turning it 3 complete turns
counterclockwise (Fig. 3).
4. Immediately lower the cup so steam wand tip is even with the top of
the milk. Slowly lower the cup as the froth rises, always keeping the
steam wand tip even with the top of the froth. It should take
approximately 15 to 20 seconds to steam a 10 oz. cup.
5. After the desired amount of froth has been made you may heat up the
milk beneath the froth by raising the cup, plunging the tip deeper into the
milk.
The following directions apply to owners of chrome plated (EPC‐8) or copper/brass (EPG‐
8) units. Owners of black‐based (EPBB‐8) units may contact us to purchase the Cappuccino
Automatic attachment separately (see Contact Information, p.9).
Method 2: Using theCappuccino Automatic
attachment
This attachment features the following parts:
Plated steam valve
Black aerator with tube.
Attach the Cappuccino Automatic:
1. Make sure steam knob is closed.
2. Remove the standard steam arm by lifting the arm clockwise until it stops
and pulling it off of the stem (Fig. 4).
3. Slide the Cappuccino Automatic onto the stem and turn it counter‐clockwise
until it is locked in place.
4. Attach the aerator by sliding it firmly onto the arm shaft (Fig. 5).
