The milk will froth better in a cold pitcher. The pitcher should fit underneath the cappuccino nozzle. We recommend using 1 or 2% milk for a stiff, dense froth. Use whole milk if you prefer a creamy froth. Turn the knob to the “Steam” position (b3). Fig. 10. When the steam starts coming out of the nozzle, immerse the nozzle in the pitcher of milk and make circular movements going up and down to froth the milk.
