Tips For Making Milk Froth; Hot Water Withdrawal - Graef Contessa Operating Instruction

Please note:
If the milk is heated up to more than 70°C, the foam will simply collapse and the drink will later
taste too sweet or even of burned milk.

Tips for making milk froth

The phases "steep" and "roll"
First the "steep phase": in order to fold in
●
the air, put the steam wand very closely be-
62
low the milk surface.
You will have achieved the right position if
●
you can hear kind of a "sip noise".
This might suspend for a short time, because
●
the surface of the milk is moving.
Now it is for the "roll phase".
●
As soon as the volume of the milk increases,
●
slide the steam wand into the milk.
When the pot becomes hot, turn off the con-
●
trol dial.
After making the milk froth, hit the pot brie-
●
fly onto the table top in order to remove the
last coarse air bubbles.
Swivelling is also helpful to distribute the fro-
●
th evenly.

Hot water withdrawal

If the unit is switched off, switch it back on again
The unit is heating up.
●
Open the control dial.
●
Immediately after finishing the process, clean
●
the steam wand using a damp cloth. Howe-
ver, allow the pipe to cool down for a mo-
ment because it becomes very hot.
Clean the steam wand also using a short
●
jet of steam so that the milk remnants are
blown out of the steam wand.
To practise it, you can use the following
method:
Pour cold water into the milk jug.
●
Add a drop of detergent.
●
Froth it up as described above.
●
If you froth it correctly, the mixture will look
●
like real milk froth.
Please do not drink this mixture!!
●

The unit is ready for
●
operation.

●

hot-water wand.
After finishing the process,
●
turn off the control dial.
