How to froth milk like a "barista".
• It is recommended to use cold, fresh milk with a fat content of 3.5 % or lower. If you prefer, use
homogenized milk.
• Use a metal frothing container with a minimum volume of 350 ml. The container should not be too
wide. A narrow and high container is recommended.
• Open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds to release the condensation water and to create dry
steam.
• Fill 1/3 of the container with milk and place it under the steam nozzle. The nozzle should be immersed
into the middle of the frothing container underneath the surface.
• Slowly open the steam valve to begin steaming the milk.
• Keep the frothing container still.
• After a few seconds you will notice a light suction in the milk jug as frothing begins. Move the milk jug
downwards as the milk level increases. The steam nozzle must be kept under the surface of the
frothed milk.
• Attention: When the desired amount of milk froth has been reached, immerse the entire steam nozzle
in the frothing container for a short time and close the steam valve.
Milk proteins "froth" at temperatures up to 65°C.
Once this temperature is exceeded, the milk will not froth any further.
• Advice: When milk frothing is finished, just shake the frothing container a little bit to make the milk
bubbles ascend to the surface and to get a more compact milk froth.
• After frothing the milk, release the steam into the drip tray to remove milk residue and avoid any
blockage of the steam nozzle.
