How to froth milk like a "Barista"
If possible, use cold, fresh milk with a fat content of approx. 1.5 % or 3 %. Even homogenized milk is
•
suitable - if you prefer.
Use a frothing container (made of metal) with a minimum volume of 0.5 litres. The size of the container
•
should not be too wide. A narrow and high container is perfect.
Open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds to release the condensation water and to create dry steam.
•
Fill 1/3 of the frothing container with milk and place it under the steam nozzle. The nozzle should be
•
immersed in the middle of the frothing container, just below the surface.
Slowly open the steam handle or the steam lever valve. Steam pervades the milk.
•
Keep the frothing container still.
•
After a few seconds you will notice a light suction in the milk jug. Proper frothing begins. Move the milk
•
jug downwards while 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 is reached, immerse the entire steam nozzle in the
•
frothing container for a short time and close the steam handle or the steam lever valve.
Milk proteins "froth" with a temperature up to 77°C.
Once this temperature is exceeded, the milk does not froth any further.
Advice: When milk frothing is finished, just shake the frothing container a little bit in order to make the
•
milk bubbles ascend to the surface and to get a compact milk froth. After frothing the milk, release the
steam into the drip tray to avoid blockage of the steam nozzle
