Using Steam Wand For Frothing Milk - Cuisinart Coffee Center BaristaBar SS-4N1T Series Instruction/Recipe Booklet

USING STEAM WAND FOR
FROTHING MILK
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!
For best results use cold milk.

NOTE: Frothing levels depend on the amount

1. Turn the START/STOP knob clockwise to
choose STEAM setting. STEAM indicator

2. Fill a mug or frothing pitcher with milk of
your choice. For best results, use a range
of 4–8 ounces for your drink recipe to avoid
overflow when frothing.
TIP: Keep in mind that the volume of milk
will increase during the texturing.
3. Purge the steam wand of any water:
With the steam wand positioned over
the drip tray, activate the steam function
by pressing START/STOP knob to start
steam process. The ON indicator will
illuminate. Once any water has been
purged, stop the steam by pressing the

the nozzle is just below the surface of
the milk.
NOTE: Pitcher not included.
5. Press the START/STOP knob. The STEAM
indicator will flash slowly. The ON indicator
will illuminate, signifying the steam process
has started.
NOTE: To cancel steaming, simply press
the START/STOP knob and the steaming
process will stop.

steam wand and rest it against the pitcher,
keeping the nozzle just below the surface
