How to Steam & Froth Milk
When making steamed-milk drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes, we
recommend steaming the milk first, then pulling the espresso shot so that
the espresso is as fresh and hot as possible. To maintain high quality and
temperature standards, the unit only allows one function at a time—
brewing or steaming.
1.
Fill the milk pitcher no more than 2/3 full with cold milk. You can use any
type of dairy or non-dairy milk, although milk with some fat content
produces the best froth. For the best results with plant-based milks, look
for those specifically designed for coffee drinks.
2.
Swivel the steam wand so the tip is over the drip tray. With the unit turned
on, turn the Steam | Hot Water dial to Steam. The Power light and the
Steam | Hot Water light will blink as the unit heats. NOTE: While the boiler
heats, a small amount of water may purge from the wand. This is normal.
3.
When the Power light stops blinking, the unit is ready. Briefly turn the
Steam | Hot Water dial back to the off position. The Steam | Hot Water
light will turn off.
4.
Swivel the steam wand out to the side of the machine and raise the milk
pitcher under it until the tip of the wand is just submerged beneath the
surface of the milk. Quickly turn the Steam | Hot Water dial back to Steam.
The Steam | Hot Water light will start blinking again (pausing the steam
like this prevents splatter when the wand is inserted into the milk).
5.
As the unit steams, keep the tip of the wand just below the surface of the
milk to introduce air, slowly lowering the pitcher as the volume increases.
When the froth reaches the desired volume, submerge the wand deeper
to continue heating.
