Steaming Milk - Tips
Helpful Tips and Information
When turning the steam knob off, always keep the tip under the surface of the milk for
approximately 3 seconds. If you pull it out too soon, you will destroy the nice velvety
micro-foam.
After removing the steam wand from the milk, position it over the drip tray and then
open the steam knob for 1-2 seconds to clean out any trapped milk inside the tip and
then wipe it down with a damp cloth immediately or the milk will dry out on the steam
wand and will be difficult to clean.
While texturizing the milk, if you lower the tip too far into the milk you create turbulence
rather than rolling. Turbulence will not make micro-foam.
If there are a few bubbles in the milk after you have finished, wait 5-10 seconds to allow
all the remaining bubbles to surface, then simply tap the edge of the pitcher on the
counter and swirl the milk slightly and they will disappear.
Be sure to keep your steamed milk moving/swirling until you are ready to pour since
milk has a natural tendency to separate.
