information The quantity and quality of the foam depend on many factors, including the milk fat content, the use of fresh or long-life milk, the milk temperature and brand.

To avoid that milk froths excessively, if you are using a new type of milk do not immediately fill the container up to the MAX mark, but first make a test with a smaller amount. If milk should spill, immediately turn off the appliance. Wait until it cools a little, then clean it (see "Cleaning"chapter). We got the best results with semi-skimmed milk (1.5% fat).
