the middle part of the machine, below the drip tray.
6.4 Dispensing of steam
The Barista A2/Barista A3 makes it possible to generate large amounts of steam in order to heat or froth beverages,

few seconds you can prepare milk froth. Please pay attention to the instructions below. Do not bring the milk to a
boil, otherwise frothing milk will not be possible.
