2. Before starting the texturing process,
it’s important to clean the stream jet to
remove possible residues of milk and
other dirt. Aim the steam jet at the grille
and turn the steam dispensing control.
Have the steam escape from the jet for
several seconds, then set the steam
dispensing control to the OFF position.
3. Turn the steam jet to make an angle of
about 45° away from the machine.
4. Insert the steam jet in the kettle with milk
so that the steam jet end is immersed
about 1cm deep in the milk.
5. Start the steam dispensing with the
steam dispensing control. During the
steam dispensing, you will hear the
pump sound. This is normal.
6. Turn the kettle so that the steam jet rests
on the kettle spout, then move the kettle
slowly downwards until the steam jet end
is immersed right under the milk surface.
The milk will start whirling and spinning
in the kettle.
7. As the milk is heating and texturing, the
milk level will also rise slowly. Move the
kettle downwards carefully, keeping the
steam jet end immersed right under the
milk surface all the time.
8. When enough froth has been formed,
immerse the steam jet in the milk to
warm the milk in the kettle.
9. When the milk temperature has
reached 60-65°C, turn the steam
control to the OFF position. If you don’t
have a thermometer to measure the
milk temperature, you can check the
temperature by touching the kettle
bottom with your palm. If the kettle
bottom starts to burn your palm for
about 3 seconds, the milk is warmed
sufficiently and you can stop the steam
dispensing.
10. Remove the steam jet from the kettle and
wipe the steam jet with a clean, lightly
moistened sponge. We recommend
to clean the steam jet right after the
texturing. Aim the steam jet at the grille
and turn the steam dispensing control.
Have the steam escape from the jet for
several seconds, then set the steam
dispensing control to the OFF position.
Wipe the steam jet again with a clean,
lightly moistened sponge.
11. Tap the kettle with the milk slightly on
the desktop. This will release excessive
air bubbles. Spin the milk in the kettle
until the milk and the froth are smooth
and shiny. This will mix the milk with the
milky texture. Pour the milk in the coffee
drink.
Advice and tips
The milk amount depends on the number
of the cups of coffee being brewed or
on the cup size and the coffee milk type.
Nevertheless, the kettle should be at least
half full and the milk amount should not
exceed 2/3 of the total kettle volume.
Please note that the texturing process will
enlarge the milk volume which could lead to
overflowing if the kettle was almost full.
We recommend to use thoroughly cooled
fresh full-cream milk. This will allow to reach
optimum results. You can also keep the
stainless kettle for milk texturing in your
refrigerator. This will result in a perfectly
prepared milk with rich texturing.
During the milk texturing, the steam should
not gush above the surface. This would
create big bubbles which would disintegrate
quickly so you would never be able to mix
hot milk with milky texture.
The milky texture amount depends on the
coffee drink type. You will need more milky
texture for creamy cappuccino than for flat
white coffee.
In order to create a silky velvet texture,
it’s important that the milk should not boil
or burn.
Please always start and stop the steam
