Barista Tip: Milk Temperature
• Under: If not heated long enough, it will 
be warm with little texture.
• Optimum: See below table.
• Over: If heated for too long it will start to 
boil  around  72°C  and  will  have  a  burnt 
taste with all texture lost.

Correct Temperature:

An indication of reaching correct milk temperature is when the pitcher 
base can only be touched comfortably for approximately 3 seconds.

Position:

Place  the  Steam  wand  ⓰    Arm  in  the 
pitcher  spout  at  the  12  o'clock  position, 
with the Froth nozzle ⓱  in the milk at the 
3  o'clock  position,  a  finger  width  away 
from  the  edge  of  the  pitcher.  Keep  the 
Froth  nozzle  ⓱  just  under  the  surface  of 
the milk. Turn steam/water knob ⓮ back 
to  STEAM  position  to  start  texturing.  A 
whirlpool action should be created in the 
pitcher. 

Sound:

How air is introduced to the milk determines the consistency of the 
foam. If large gulps of air are added to the milk, the foam will have 
large  bubbles.  Introducing  air  to  the  milk  in  a  controlled,  gentle 
fashion indicated by a gentle hissing sound, will ensure the milk has 
fine aerated microfoam.
Barista Tip: Milk Texturing Sounds
• Gurgling: Froth nozzle ⓱ not deep enough, raise pitcher.
• Smooth Hissing: Just right for latte.
• Screeching: Froth nozzle ⓱ too deep, lower pitcher.

     

Amount of Foam:

Create the amount of microfoam you want. Cappuccinos traditionally 
have more microfoam than flat whites.

       Note:Some adjustments to technique will be required when 
using non-dairy milk.

Keeping Froth nozzle ⓱  Position :

As the steam heats & textures the milk, the 
milk will stretch causing the level of the 
milk in the pitcher to rise. As this happens 
follow the level of the milk by lowering the 
pitcher, keeping the Froth nozzle ⓱  just 
below the surface.

Immerse Froth nozzle ⓱:

After creating the desired amount of foam, 
immerse the Steam wand ⓰  half depth
way into the milk. This heats all the milk 
and pulls in milk instead of air. This ensures 
the milk & foam are blended together, ma-
king it denser & smoother.
