Frothing milk
Your new espresso machine is equipped with a steam wand for easy production
of textured milk for Italian-style milk coffees (cappuccino, caffè latte), or for hot
chocolate. It is equipped with a silicone tag for handling the hot steam wand.
For best results
• Use the supplied stainless steel jug for frothing milk.
• Both the milk and jug should be cold for frothing. Refrigerator milk with a
temperature of 4-9°C is recommended. Do not use a jug that has just been
washed in warm water.
• The milk will be heated during texturing, but it must not be allowed to
reach boiling point. Milk should ideally be heated to just below 60°C, or to
a maximum 70°C if you want extra hot milk. For best results, insert a milk
frothing thermometer into the milk during frothing.
• Start with making an espresso, then pour the hot, textured milk into the coffee.
• Clean the steam wand after every use.
Step-by-step milk-frothing instructions
The following instructions are for preparing cappuccino:
1. Pull an espresso. The first step in making cappuccino is to pull an espresso
shot. Follow the instructions on pages 18–21, using a cappuccino cup of
approximately 170–220 mL capacity. Keep the portafilter fully engaged under
the group head. Place the cup with the espresso on the cup-warming plate on
top of the machine to keep it warm.
2. Prepare the milk. Fill the supplied stainless steel frothing jug no more than
one-third full with fresh, cold milk and place it next to the espresso machine.
IMPORTANT: When texturing milk, the volume will double. Do not overfill the jug.
CAUTION!
After producing steam, the steam wand is hot. Always use the silicone tab
installed on the steam wand/water dispenser to rotate and swing the wand into
the desired position.
