Espresso Macchiato
Makes 1 serving (1½ ounces)
2 ounces skim milk
1 measured scoop finely ground
espresso or 1 espresso pod
water
Pre-chill the frothing pitcher. Press the power
button of the Cuisinart
®
Espresso Maker to
turn the machine on. The lights around the
power, manual, single and double
espresso buttons will illuminate and when they
stop blinking, the machine has been warmed
and is ready to use.
Place the one-cup filter basket in the
portafilter holder. Spoon the espresso grounds
into the basket. Using the tamping tool, lightly
press down on the grounds and clean any
excess from the rim. Secure the portafilter
holder in place.
Press the steam button and once the light
stops blinking, it’s ready for use.
Turn the steam/hot water dial to the steam
setting. Pour the milk into the pre-chilled
frothing pitcher. Hold the pitcher in one hand
and place it under the steam wand so the
bottom of the wand is just below the surface
of the milk. Once the milk begins to increase
in volume, lift the pitcher higher so the steam
wand is immersed farther into the milk. Move
the pitcher up and down a couple of times to
achieve a nice foam.
Place demitasse cup underneath the brew
head and press the button above the single
espresso button.
Espresso will begin to brew. When 1½ ounces
have been brewed the machine will stop.
Using a large spoon, place one tablespoon of
the frothed milk on top of the espresso.
