How to froth milk
•
If possible, use cold and 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 better.
•
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 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 as the milk level increases. The steam nozzle must be kept under the surface of the
frothed milk.
•
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 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.
