• Remove the steam wand from the milk.
• Press the “manual” button for a few seconds, this will clear
the steam wand. Move the switch to the “automatic”
position to turn the steam wand off.
K. Foaming or Frothing Milk
Foaming milk can be divided into three basic steps:
1. Fill a 32 oz. steaming pitcher 1/ 3 full with cold milk. Place the
tip of the steam wand 1/ 2” below the surface of the milk.
2. Open the steam valve completely in order to create enough
turbulence to produce foam.
3. As foam begins to rise, lower the pitcher so that the tip of the
wand is always about 1/ 2” below the surface of the milk. As
foam nears the top, turn off the steam.
✱
Milk foams better when cold. After making drinks, it is important
to return the unused milk to the refrigerator right away.
L. Cup Rack
The top of the ASTRA espresso machine has a cup rack for
keeping espresso cups warm. If your ASTRA machine has a dome
on top, it is recommended that you warm the espresso cups prior
to use.
CAUTION
: Do NOT store anything on top of the machine that can
spill or be affected by heat. Spilling may cause component failure
in the machine.
