6. Amount of Foam
Create the amount of microfoam you want.
Cappuccinos traditionally have more microfoam
than flat whites.
(See Coffee Styles to Try, pages 17-18)
7. Immerse Tip
After creating the desired amount of foam,
immerse the Steam Wand 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, making it denser & smoother.
8. Correct Temperature
An indication of reaching correct milk
temperature is when the Milk Jug base can
only be touched comfortably for approximately
3 seconds.
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.
Note: Above recommendations might vary from
one milk brand to another and depending on
your taste preference.
9. Purging the Steam Wand
When correct milk temperature has been
reached, turn the DIAL to the vertical position
and remove the Jug from the Steam Wand.
Place Milk Jug to one side. Place the Steam
Wand over the Drip Tray. Turn the DIAL to the
HOT WATER position for a few seconds, then
return the DIAL to the vertical position. This will
remove any milk that has been sucked into the
Steam Wand Tip.
10. Wipe Steam Wand
Wipe the Steam Wand Arm & Tip with a clean
damp cloth to remove any milk residue.
11. Tap & Swirl the Jug
Gently tapping the Jug on the benchtop helps
to release larger trapped air bubbles.
Swirling helps the milk & froth to combine for
an even consistency & a silky appearance.
12. The Finishing Touches
Pour from the Milk Jug into your cup in one
steady motion.
