  2. Place an espresso cup under the brew nozzle. Set the switch to "Brew" to fill the cup with fresh coffee. Flick the switch to stop the brewing process.

  3. Fill a mug half to 2/3 with skim milk and place the steam nozzle in the milk. Set the switch to "Steam" and hold the nozzle under the milk's surface until the cup is hot to the touch. Flick the switch to stop steaming.

  4. Combine the brewed coffee and steamed milk as desired for a latte or flat white-style drink. Fill the jug with water and place the steam nozzle under the surface of the water. Set the switch to "Steam" for 20 to 30 seconds to clean out the nozzle before leaving the machine.
