Recommendations for proper milk foaming
• If possible, use cold and fresh milk with a fat content of approx. 1.5 % or 3 %. Even homogenised milk is suitable
– if you prefer.
• Use a frothing container (made of metal) with a minimum volume of 0.5 litres. The size of the container should
not be too wide. A small and narrow container is perfect.
• Open the steam lever for approx. 5 seconds to release the condensation water and to create dry steam.
• Fill 1/3 of the frothing container with milk and place it under the steam nozzle. The nozzle should be immersed
in the middle of the frothing container, just below the surface.
• Activate the steam lever. The steam pervades the milk.
• Keep the frothing container still.
• You will notice a light suction in the milk jug after a few seconds. Proper frothing begins. Move the frothing
container downwards while the milk level increases. The steam nozzle must be kept under the surface of the
frothed milk.
• Attention: When the desired amount of milk froth is reached, immerse the entire steam nozzle in the frothing
container for a short time and close the steam lever.
Milk proteins “froth” with a temperature up to 77°C.
Once this temperature is exceeded, the milk does not froth any further.
• If there is some milk left in the milk jug, let it cool down; it can be re-used later.
• Advice: When milk frothing is finished, just shake the frothing container a little bit in order to make the larger
milk bubbles ascend to the surface and to get a more compact milk froth.
• After frothing the milk, release steam into the drip tray to avoid blockage of the steam nozzle.
