Milk texturing is the steaming of milk.
Key elements of textured milk
Milk that has been textured correctly has
a thick, rich microfoam with a silky sheen.
Texturing involves both heating and aerating
milk using steam. Vital elements include
positioning of the steam wand, when to
adjust the milk jug position and reaching the
correct temperature. Use the below steps to
help you create café style microfoam.
1. Fill milk jug
Add cold milk around 4°C
into a chilled
clean stainless steel jug.
Fill to the bottom of the spout.
2. Steam warm up
For best milk texturing results every time,
ensure steam has warmed up before
texturing milk. Steam is ready when STEAM
light is fully on.
3. Position
Place the steam wand in the jug spout at the
12 o'clock position, with the steam wand tip
in the milk at the 3 o'clock position. Keep the
steam wand tip just under the surface of the
milk. This will create a whirlpool action.
4. 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.
5. Keeping steam tip position
As the steam heats and textures the milk,
the milk will stretch causing the level of
the milk in the jug to rise. As this happens
follow the level of the milk by lowering the
jug, keeping the steam wand tip just below
the surface.

Tips for milk texturing
Note:
The volume of milk will increase or
’stretch’ during texturing, so don’t overfill
the jug.
Note:
Some adjustments to technique will
be required when using non-dairy milk.
Barista Tip:
milk texturing sounds
• Gurgling - tip not deep enough, raise jug.
• Smooth Hissing - just right for latte.
• Screeching - tip too deep, lower jug
