Milk; The Milk Carafe/Parts Are Dirty - Gaggia Velasca Black Troubleshooting Manual

MILK

My VELASCA PRESTIGE espresso machine does not froth the milk.
In the unfortunate event your GAGGIA espresso machine's milk carafe won't froth the milk, there might be a simple solution.

The milk carafe/parts are dirty

1. Detach all parts and clean them with warm water /washing-up liquid
2. For a thorough cleaning use the Gaggia Milk circuit cleaner
3. When cleaning does not improve the milk frothing result, descale your machine. Internal circuits might be clogged up with
scale
The milk carafe dispensing spout is not completely pulled out or set in the correct position
• Pull the dispensing spout of the milk carafe fully out, set to milk froth
Different types of milk result in different amounts of froth and froth qualities
We have tested the following milk types which proved to deliver a good milk froth result:
• Semi-skimmed or full-fat cow's milk
• Soy milk
• Lactose free milk
When cleaning does not improve the milk frothing result, descale your machine. Internal circuits might be clogged up with scale.
