Go on, admit it. We all want a way out of paying for those four- dollar lattes and mochas at the corner Starbucks. Coffee is a journey, not a destination, so enjoy the ride.

Did anyone tell you that those lattes and cappuccinos are a necessary part of life? It is not a matter of personal choice, you know. I used to drink International Foods coffee until I realized that there was something better than the artificial flavors that I was getting accustomed to. How complete would your coffee-espresso-cappuccino journey be without the ubiquitous steam powered toy?

It might be the Salton-Maxim, complete with electrical cord; It might be a Delonghi, Krups, or Braun, or maybe even a pump powered unit capable of producing acceptable espresso; It might take the name of a Bialetti, Elebak, Vesubio, Bellman, Benjamin & Medwin or Vesuviana, a stove top worthy of any Saturday morning brew session. Basic Description A steam powered electric espresso maker generally has a thermal plastic skin with a aluminum boiler underneath, a knob or two, a two- way brew switch (offering the choice of brew or steam), a steam wand protruding from the main housing of the unit, a matching glass carafe, a handled coffee filter holder with a steel filter insert and a relatively robust screw cap on top. The super-cheap machines, which I hear about every couple of days from some hapless victim of, yet another, bad garage sale or EBay bargain, often has no brew select switches at all, but, if you are lucky, an 'on' switch and, at worse, just a plug to put in the wall for electricity! STEP ONE: Fill the reservoir almost to the top (see photo at right) with water, not milk!

(You would be surprised how many people ask me if this is where you put the cappuccino beans and milk!) Screw the reservoir cap tightly in place. Consider the exercise of the dry run. That is, run the unit a few times before even considering using coffee. This will give you the opportunity of understanding the basic functions of the unit: where does the water go?; where does the steam come from?; how long does this unit take to heat up?; to cool off?

When you are ready and comfortable, proceed. Plug the espresso maker in. In the event that your espresso maker has no power switch, have all your accouterments ready: fresh water; milk; carafe or suitable container; and mug or cup to capture the espresso coffee upon brewing.

STEP TWO: (for machines with a two-way brew switch) If yours is a machine without a two-way brew switch follow the instructions in step four regarding steaming milk, then proceed to step five below. If you have an espresso machine with a two-way brew switch, it is up to you whether or not you wish to brew espresso coffee or steam milk first. In my opinion, I would suggest that you steam (foam) your milk first, set it aside, then brew your espresso coffee. Place finely ground fresh espresso coffee in the coffee holder- filter (see photo at left). I cannot stress enough that fresh coffee, ground appropriately for these units, is very important if you wish to get results approaching drinkable. Use some tamping pressure to compact the ground coffee, but not too much pressure.

You have compressed the coffee too much if no coffee comes out during the brew cycle. STEP THREE: There should be a brew switch on the front or the side of your espresso maker.

The two-way brew switch allows you to switch between brewing coffee and steaming milk. If your espresso maker has no two-way brew switch, then you truly possess the most basic espresso machine. If there is no brew switch, consider foaming the milk first, as in step four. Because you probably possess a basic steam boiler powered espresso maker, eventually you will hear a rumbling sound inside the unit. This sound is water approaching the boiling point and your unit is now ready to brew espresso or steam milk.

If there is a valve adjacent to the steam wand, turn it. Steam should whoosh out.

Steam warnings! Be very careful. Steam can scald and permanently scar skin tissue, cause injury and/or death in children and so on.

Failure of the 'safety relief valve' of any espresso - cappuccino maker, stove top, electric or otherwise, can create an EXPLOSION hazard. I have seen an aluminum stove top espresso maker explode embedding the top components 4 to 6 inches through drywall!

There is sufficient explosive force in any steam powered product to injure or harm bystanders or users of these products. STEP FOUR: Open the steam valve on the side of your espresso maker ( see photo above ). By following my basic milk steaming tutorial, heat your milk to 160 degrees Fahrenheit and no higher.

Higher milk temperatures will scald and ruin the milk. Consider the purchase of a calibrated espresso cappuccino thermometer by the famous company Taylor. Once again, please read my short tutorial on foaming milk. If you have read my tutorial on steaming milk, you have practiced and become quite successful at the art and science of foaming milk, and now have a suitable carafe of steamed and/or foamed milk standing by awaiting the addition of espresso coffee.

STEP FIVE: Put 2 tablespoons of finely ground espresso coffee into the metal coffee holder or coffee filter-holder (shown above). Tamp it down with moderate force with a coffee tamper, the back of a spoon, or something of suitable shape. Attach your coffee-filter- holder holder to your espresso maker.

Place a clean carafe, mug or other suitable container under the coffee holder to catch the freshly brewed espresso coffee. Flip on the brew switch. Within a few seconds espresso coffee will come out of the holder into the carafe, mug or other container. After 25 to 35 seconds of coffee brewing, switch off or unplug your espresso coffee maker or the espresso coffee will be bitter and overextracted. Add your steamed or foamed milk to the espresso coffee. Adding foamed milk to espresso coffee creates a cappuccino! Adding steamed milk to espresso coffee creates a cafe latte.

These rules work with all Salton, Maxim, Krups, Mr.Coffee, Braun and other similar espresso makers that are steam powered. JUST BE CAREFUL!

For espresso, continue with next step. C) When coffee has stopped flowing, turn switch to OFF position.

D) Before removing reservoir cap, open the steam jet control knob (counter-clockwise) 1/2 turn to relieve any pressure. To Prepare Cappuccino Step 4: Use 2 or 4 cappuccino cups or glasses. Fill each individual cup about half-way with cold milk. Follow Step 1 through Step 3b.

Step 5: Line up milk-filled cups next to the machine. When the coffee starts to flow into the carafe, begin frothing each cup as follows: a) Hold cup by handle and bring up to the steam jet. B) Insert jet just under the surface of the milk. C) Open steam control knob with free hand by turning counterclockwise one or two turns. D) Move cup in a circular motion and allow steam to froth the milk for several seconds. E) After frothing, insert steam jet to bottom of cup for just 2 to 3 seconds to warm milk.

Remember-cold skim milk froths more readily Over-heating milk will break down the bubbles. F) After removing steam jet from frothed milk turn steam control knob to OPEN momentarily to clear the iet of milk. G) When coffee has stopped flowing into carafe, turn switch to OFF position. H) Holding covered carafe, gently pour an equal amount of espresso alongthe side of the cup. Don't pour espresso into the middle of the cup as this will break down the froth.

I ) Top each cup of cappuccino with a dash of nutmeg, cinnamon or chocolate shavings. Another Way to Froth Milk Pour desired amount of milk into a small pitcher or mug-approximately 4 to 6 oz. For 4 cups of cappuccino or 3 oz. Milk for two cups of cappuccino. Follow cappuccino preparation instructions to froth milk. Serve the hot, frothy milk by spooning it on top of your cup of espresso. Download Bacaan Yasin Dalam Rumi. The froth will not readily pour from container, since it separates from the heated milk.

Suggestions and Hints 1. If you cannot generate sufficient steam pressure to froth milk, you may be using too coarse a grind of coffee. Try tamping lightly. If you run out of steam and milk is not foamy, you probably did not begin frothing the milk early enough in the brewing cycle. 3.If less than the full amount of coffee flows into the carafe and you run out of steam, you probably steamed the milk too long.

If steam jet hole clogs, allow machine to cool, and insert a pinto unplug. Do not use a toothpick.

If coffee flows very slowly, you maybe using too fine a grind or tamping too hard. The glass carafe must never be used on a range top. Do not set hot carafe onto a wet or cold surface. Do not use carafe if cracked. If you add liqueur, do so before adding milk. The short power supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If an extension cord is used: (a) The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. (b) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled.
