Abstract
A coffee-making apparatus for making normal coffee has a steam boiler (,) for generating steam for making cappuccino. The coffee-making apparatus has only one water reservoir (,) for making the coffee and for filling the steam boiler. The boiler has a venting valve (,) for automatically venting the boiler when the boiler is filled with cold water from the water reservoir. The influx of cold water into the boiler causes a sensor (,) to cool down, thereby opening a vent opening. With this apparatus it is possible to make coffee and steam for a second time, directly after making a cup of coffee and steam for the first time.
