TIPS FOR MILK FROTHING
4. Sound
How air is introduced to the milk determines the consistency of the foam. If large gulps of air are
added to the milk, the foam will have large bubbles. Introducing air to the milk in a controlled,
gentle fashion indicated by a gentle hissing sound, will ensure the milk has fine aerated
microfoam.
Pro Tip: Milk Frothing Sounds
• Screeching - Tip too deep, lower Pitch er.
• Smooth Hissing - Just right for latte.
• Gurgling - Tip not deep enough, raise Pitcher.
5. Keeping Steam Tip Position
As the steam heats and froths the milk, the milk will stretch causing the level of the milk in the
Pitcher to rise. As this happens follow the level of the milk by lowering the Pitcher, keeping the
Steam Wand Tip just below the surface.
6. Amount of Foam
Create the amount of micro-foam you want. Cappuccinos traditionally have more microfoam than
a flat white.
(See Espresso Styles on the next page)
7. Immerse Tip
After you have created the amount of foam you want, immerse the Steam Wand half way down
the milk level. This heats all the milk and pulls in milk instead of air. This ensures the milk and
foam is blended together, making it denser and smoother.

TIPS FOR MILK FROTHING
8. Correct Temperature
An indicator that correct milk temperature has been reached, is when the thermometer has
reached a temperature of 60-65 °C or when the pitcher can only be held for approximately 3
seconds.
Pro Tip: Milk Temperature
• Under - If not heated long enough, it will be warm with little froth.
• Optimum - See below table.
• Over - If heated for too long it will start to boil around 72°C, and will have a burnt taste with all
froth lost.
Milk
Full & Skim
Almond
Soy
Coconut
Note: frothing may vary depending on the milk used.
9. Tap and Swirl the Pitcher
Gently tapping the Pitcher on the benchtop helps release larger trapped air bubbles.
Swirling helps the milk and froth to combine for an even consistency and a silky appearance.
10. Clean & purge steam wand
After steaming milk,wipe the steam wand with a clean damp cloth to remove any milk residue.
