INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have selected
the new and innovative Breville
®
Prima
Latte III. This unique appliance has been
designed to help you prepare delicious
espressos, cappuccinos and lattes quickly,
conveniently, and automatically with the
touch of a button.
ESPRESSO
A unique method of coffee brewing in
which hot water is forced through nely
ground coffee. Popular in Europe, it is a
far richer and more full-bodied brew than
regular drip coffee. Because of its richness,
espresso is usually served in 45 to 60 ml
(1.5 to 2 oz.) portions, in demitasse cups.
CAPPUCCINO
A drink made with about 1/3 espresso, 1/3
steamed milk, and 1/3 frothed milk.
LATTE
A drink made with about 1/4 espresso and
3/4 steamed milk.
Please read ALL of the instructions,
cautions, notes and warnings included in
