is then immediately dispensed.
Tips for creating a perfect froth:
Milk frothing is the steaming of milk. The
steam does two things; it heats milk and it
mixes in air to form a foamy texture. As with
anything, perfecting the art of milk texturing
takes practice, but the results are well worth it!
Use cold, refrigerated milk in the milk tank. Any
type of milk may be used, but for best results,
skim is recommended. Keep in mind that the
milk volume will increase during frothing, so use
a large enough cup.
NOTE: If the milk tank is not installed or placed
in the unit correctly, the CAPPUCCINO
LATTE
, and STEAM
LEDs will not light.
Only lit LEDs are available functions.
