- Attach Milk Frother: Securely attach the milk frother to the machine.
- Select Drink: After brewing your espresso, place your cup under the milk frother spout. Select "Cappuccino" or "Latte" on the touch screen. The machine will automatically froth and dispense milk into your cup.

Iced Coffee/Espresso Cool Function
- Prepare Water Tank: For iced coffee, ensure the water tank contains ice-cold water and ice cubes.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No coffee dispenses. | Water tank empty; clogged filter; machine not heated. | Fill water tank; clean filter basket; allow machine to preheat. |
| Coffee is too weak/watery. | Coffee grounds too coarse; insufficient coffee; tamping too light. | Use finer grind; increase coffee amount; tamp more firmly. |
| Coffee is too strong/bitter. | Coffee grounds too fine; too much coffee; tamping too hard. | Use coarser grind; reduce coffee amount; tamp lighter. |
| Milk frother not producing foam. | Milk too warm; frother nozzle clogged; incorrect milk type. | Use cold milk; clean frother nozzle; try different milk. |
