Frothing Tips

If you hear a gurgling sound then the steam wand tip is not
deep enough. If you hear a screeching sound the tip is too
deep. Adjust the pitcher position accordingly.
•
Ideal frothing should make a smoothing hissing noise, and
whirlpool motion created in pitcher.
*It takes about 2½ minutes to froth 4 oz. of whole/ 2% /skim milk
to 150 ̊ F heat. You can use a thermometer for precise results.
•
Milk frothed correctly has thick rich micro foam with silky
shade. Tap pitcher to release large air bubbles and swirl to
blend milk for silky texture.
