An espresso machine with an attachment for the making of cappuccino wherein the attachment has a pipe with an open air admitting inlet at its upper end and an open air discharging outlet at its lower end. The steam conduit of the espresso machine has an orifice for steam at its lower end, and the outlet of the pipe is positioned in such a way that steam issuing from the orifice draws air into the pipe and out by way of the outlet to mix with steam and to froth a quantity of milk when the resulting mixture is admitted into a body of milk in a cup or another vessel. The pipe can be a separately produced part which is separably and adjustably or integrally connected to the conduit. It is also possible to provide the conduit with an integral portion which serves as an air supplying pipe and to provide a coupling to separably connect the upper end of the conduit to the source of steam. An extension can be provided to allow for mixing of air and steam before the resulting mixture is caused to enter into and to froth a supply of milk. The extension can constitute an integral part of the conduit or a separately produced part which has a funnel-shaped portion surrounding a conical portion of the steam discharging nozzle of the conduit.

An espresso machine comprising a housing; a coffee filter carrier on said housing; a source of steam in said housing; steam supplying first conduit means connected with said source and having a steam discharging orifice and being immersible into a supply of milk; and air supplying second conduit means having an air discharging outlet sufficiently close to said orifice to enable steam which issues from said orifice to draw air from said second conduit means by way of said outlet and into the supply of milk when the first conduit means is immersed into the supply of milk to thereby cause a frothing of milk as a result of admission of steam and air into milk.
