Latte Art frothing using the steam wand
With the steam wand and a little practice, you can obtain a sweet and creamy
micro-foam that is ideal for a perfect Latte Art.
Tip
: before proceeding with the milk foaming, purge the steam wand for a few
seconds by pressing the
PURGE
button to eliminate any possible condensation.
1
Fill a jug with cold milk of about 1/3 full.
2
Insert the nozzle of the wand just below the surface of the milk;
if too deep into the milk, milk foam will not be produced;
if too outside milk surface, large bubbles will be produced getting immediately
runny.
3
Keep the nozzle not in the middle, but close to the edge of the jug, thus creating
an inclination suitable to produce a stronger swirl.
4
Press
HOME
HOME
button to access the beverage menu. Select STEAM, then
press the
START/STOP
START/STOP
button to start foaming the milk.
5
For proper milk foaming, keep the steam nozzle in contact with the milk and
not with milk foam. Then, as the foam layer increases, slightly raise the jug
keeping the nozzle in contact with the milk and without touching the bottom of
the jug.
Once the desired frothing has been achieved, push the steam wand deeper into
the milk to heat it completely.
6
When the milk foam reaches the desired consistency. Press the
START/STOP
START/STOP
button to stop steam dispensing. Wait until the steam dispensing has
stopped completely, before removing the jug.
Note
: always keep one hand onto the rounded part of the jug to feel the
temperature increase on the milk portion not foamed.
Note
: gently beat the jug onto the table to get milk foam more compact. Leave it
rest for at least 30 secs. The milk becomes more homogeneous.

After foaming the milk, clean the steam wand via the
PURGE
button.
