Long Black-Normal Coffee; Texturing Milk - Gastroback Design Espresso Slim Bedienungsanleitung

LONG BLACK – NORMAL COFFEE
The Long Black is according to "normal" coffee. Due to adding hot water (see: 'Hot
Water'), the Long Black is milder than espresso. By selecting the appropriate func-
tion (1 cup or 2 cups) and adapting the amount of hot water added, you can adjust
the taste to your likings.
WARNING:
After using the hot water/steam function, the steam wand is very
hot! Only touch the steam wand at the black handle.
CAUTION: The hot water will flow from the steam wand under pressure. If
possible, immerse the tip of the steam wand into your already prepared espresso,
before starting the hot water function. Otherwise, hot water could splash. Alterna-
tively, point the steam wand at an angle to the side-wall of your mug. However,
you should avoid this procedure, when using glasses, because even heat-resistant
glass could crack, due to the extreme local heating up. Always switch off the hot
water function, before removing your mug.
1. Prepare an espresso (1 cup or 2 cups) as described above.
2. After brewing, add the desired amount of hot water via the steam wand (see:
'Hot Water')). For this, immerse the tip of the steam wand into the coffee to avo-
id splashing. Alternatively, point the steam wand at an angle at the inner side-
wall of your mug (only with china mugs). Ensure that the steam button is dark
and the power button is illuminated continuously.
3. Turn the hot water/steam switch clockwise to start the hot water function.
4. Wait until the desired amount of water is supplied. Then turn the hot water/
steam switch back to the vertical position to stop the hot water flow.
5. Remove your mug and wipe the steam wand using a damp, clean cloth. By the
handle, turn the steam wand to the drip tray.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4. Let the appliance operate 1-2 seconds to purge the steam
wand.
Note
When knowing the required amount of water, you may start with hot water also
and thereafter fill up your mug with coffee.

TEXTURING MILK

WARNING - RISK OF BURNS:
steam wand will be very hot and hot steam and hot water could escape from the
steam wand. Do not hold your hands and arms near the steam wand tip. Always
ensure that the steam wand points to the drip tray, when not in use. Young Child-
ren must always be supervised when the espresso machine is in their reach.
Do not lift the steam wand out of the milk as long as steam is given off, to avoid that
hot milk will splash out and hot steam could escape. To avoid splashing of hot milk,
before removing the milk, always stop the steam flow by turning the hot water/steam
switch to the vertical position and wait 1-2 seconds. After texturing, the steam wand
will be hot. Only touch the steam wand at the handle to avoid scalding!
CAUTION: Do not use glass vessels for texturing. Even heat-resistant glass
may crack during texturing due to the local heating up. Metal vessels are suited
best. Porcelain (china) may be used as well.
Note
You cannot use the espresso functions and steam function at the same time.
Note
If the machine is run continuously for 60 seconds (1 minute), allow the machine to
cool for 1 minute before next use.
Various useful tips for texturing milk are given in section 'Tips for Best Results/Tips
for Texturing Milk'.

appliance and wait until the power button is illuminated continuously (appliance
is ready for operation).
2. Fill a sufficiently large, high vessel made of porcelain or metal (e.g. coffee mug,
milk jug) with the desired amount of fresh, cold milk. When preparing usual cap-
puccino, you will need approx. 100ml milk. However, there must be enough
milk in the vessel to immerse the steam wand. The tip of the steam wand must
be immersed at least 1cm below the surface.
3. Ensure that the steam wand points at the drip tray. Press the steam button to
select the steam function. The steam button illuminates and the power button may
