Determine the amount of milk needed based
●
on the number of cups of coffee brewed or on
the size of the milk jug.
Tip
: Remember that the volume of milk
increases during frothing.
Pour cold, cooled down milk into a stainless
●
steel jug filling it up to 1/2 or 2/3 of its capacity.
Tip
: Store a stainless steel jug with milk in
a fridge so that the milk is well cooled down.
Remember not to rinse the jug with warm
water before you use it.
Rinse the steam wand by placing a dish
●
under it and by turning the regulator knob to
the steam position . Turn off the steam by
turning the knob to position
0
(26)
.
Move the steam wand to the side of the
●
appliance and attach the milk frothing
attachment
(27)
.
Immerse the steam wand in milk so that the
●
wand is about one centimeter below the
surface and activate steam dosing by turning
the regulator knob into position
(28)
.
Hold the frothing jug at an angle so that the
●
steam wand sits in the spout of the jug and
lower the jug until the end of the steam wand is
immersed just below the surface of milk. This
will start the production of frothed milk.
Warning
: Do not allow an uneven outflow of
steam, or the froth will not be properly aired.
To avoid it, lift the jug so that the steam wand
is deeper immersed in milk. Remember that
the ideal texture is soft, smooth froth.
The moment the milk has warmed up and
●
frothed, the level of milk in the jug will start
rising. If this happens, start lowering the jug,
but always keep the end of the steam wand
immersed just under the milk surface
(29)
.
The moment froth has been obtained, lift the
●
jug so that the steam wand is in the middle of
milk
(30)
.
Tip
: The amount of froth required will change
depending on the type of beverage prepared.
E.g. a cappuccino requires more froth than
a coffee beverage on the basis of an espresso
served with steam frothed milk.
Immediately after milk has been warmed up
●
to 60–65°C, turn off the steam by turning the
regulator knob to position
0
(31)
.
Tip
: If you do not have a thermometer, a good
indication of reaching the right temperature is
if you cannot keep a hand against the jar for
longer than 3 seconds.
Important
: Do not boil the milk.
Remove the jug and take the frothing
●
attachment off the steam wand. After each
use, clean the wand in warm water with the
addition of washing-up liquid. Clear all its
outlets. Promptly wipe the steam wand and
its end with a clean damp cloth
(32)
and rinse
with a small amount of steam.
Holding the jug in one hand, tap it lightly on
●
the table so as to release air bubbles and then
move the jug in a circular motion until milk gets
shiny and there are no bubbles in it. This will
help obtain a uniform texture of milk and froth.
