How to make a perfect cappuccino with the ILLY IPERESPRESSO X1 Anniversary coffee machine

Step 1: Prepare the espresso

1. Light the machine and heat for a few minutes.
2. Insert a Iperespresso coffee capsule in the capsule.
3. Place your cup under the extraction beak and press the Espresso button.
4. Let the espresso flow (about 25-30 ml) and remove the cup.

 Tip : For a balanced cappuccino, opt for a short and intense espresso.

 Step 2: Mush the milk with the steam nozzle

1. Fill the milk pitcher up to approximately 1/3 of its capacity .
2. Purge the steam nozzle by operating it a few seconds before use (this evacuates residual water).
3. Lightly plunge the nozzle into the milk and activate the steam.
4. Map the milk while keeping the nozzle close to the surface to incorporate air.
5. Create a silky texture by gradually lowering the pitcher to heat the milk without too much foam.
6. Achieve an ideal temperature of 60-65 ° C (the pitcher should be hot but not burning to the touch).
7. Stop the steam and immediately clean the nozzle with a damp cloth.

Tip : For a fine and smooth foam, avoid large bubbles while keeping the submerged nozzle after ventilation.

 Step 3: assemble the cappuccino

1. First pour the hot milk into the espresso by slightly tilting the cup.
2. Add the milk foam by gently lifting the pitcher to obtain a beautiful creamy effect.
3. For the most creative, try a simple art by making a circular movement with the pitcher.

Tip : For a gourmet touch, sprinkle with cocoa powder or cinnamon slightly.

Result: a smooth and balanced cappuccino!
