How to froth milk like a “barista”
1 If possible, use cold and fresh milk with a fat content of approx. 1.5 % or 3 %. Even UHT-milk is suitable, if
preferred.
2 Use a milk jug (made of metal) with a minimum volume of 0.5 litres. The size of the container should not be too
large. A small and high container is perfect.
3 Open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds to release the condensation water and to create dry steam.
4 Fill 1/3 of the jug with milk and place it under the steam nozzle. The nozzle should be immersed in the middle of
the milk jug.
