Making steam
Steam can be used to make the milk frothy
for a cappuccino or for heating liquids.
The temperature required to produce steam
being higher than that necessary to make an
espresso, the espresso should always be
prepared first, because otherwise the coffee
might be burnt.
The nature of the system is such that a little
water, which can be collected in a separate
container, will escape from the steam nozzle
before the steam appears.
