Tips & More

Capresso froth PRO Recipe Tips

  • Always finely grate or shave the chocolate before adding it to the frothing pitcher. We recommend using a rotary grater, cheese grater or vegetable peeler. Do not add large chunks of chocolate to the frothing pitcher.
  • If a loud noise occurs after you add ingredients while making a warm or hot beverage, press the illuminated button to turn the machine off, or lift the pitcher from base. Allow a few seconds for the ingredients to melt, and then press the Warm or Hot button again. The ingredients might have been stuck on or around the heating disk.
  • Always follow the measurement marks inside the pitcher.
  • Never froth more than 8 ounces of milk at one time or milk may overflow out of the pitcher. Remember that the volume of milk increases with frothing.
  • Capresso froth PRO can froth any type of milk, including soy, almond, skim, 2% and more. Some milk product froth better than others. Fresh skim milk provides the largest amount of froth. Organic milk and non-dairy milks will not produce the same quality of froth as non-organic milk.

  • In any recipe that calls for milk, warm the milk in the frother first to help incorporate powdered ingredients and speed the cooking process.
  • Use the frother to heat milk for any recipe that calls for “scalded milk.”
  • Add frothed low-fat milk to mashed potatoes for creamy texture.
  • Use the heating disk to warm milk and cream to add to egg yolks and sugar for homemade crème anglaise.
  • “Marinate” flavoring ingredients like vanilla, cloves, citrus peels or spices in warm milk for 10-20 minutes to bring out an enhanced flavor in any recipe that calls for milk.
  • Use the heating disk to warm milk for an old-fashioned hot milk cake.
  • Using the frothing disk, froth milk or cream on the cold setting for recipes such as custard and meringue that call for “stiff” milk or cream.

      Hi, Eithne. First, unplug your machine. Then, slide your thumb under one side of the disk and gently pull up. The disk should snap out of place. Sometimes during first use the disk seems hard to pull out, but just tug on it and it should pull out.
