Question
Tip
Why doesn’t my milk froth
up when I use the milk
frother?
Milk frothing is an art – so don’t give up if you
don’t succeed the first time! Keep practicing!
Additionally, always start with cold,
refrigerated milk, since already-warm milk
tends not to froth.
What if my milk forms big
bubbles instead of fine
froth?
Take the vessel you are using to froth the
milk and tap it down hard on the table a few
times. Then rotate it clockwise a few turns.
This will eliminate the big bubbles and give
you a softer, denser froth.
What kind of milk is
suitable for making milk
froth?
Low fat milk, whole milk, half and half, heavy
cream and non-dairy milks may all be used,
but be aware that the froth density may be
different depending on the fat content of the
milk. Additionally, some non-dairy milks are
more capable of frothing than others.
What should I do if no
steam comes out of the
tube?
Usually, this happens when the tube has not
been cleaned in some time. You can use
something small like a paperclip to clear the
tube. You can also put a 1:1 water to vinegar
mix in the water tank and switch the knob to
steam to clear it. If neither of the above
suggestions work, contact the authorized
ESPRESSIONE Service Center.
