Steaming Milk - Tips

Helpful Tips and Information
• When turning the steam knob off, always keep the tip under the surface of the milk for
approximately 3 seconds. If you pull it out too soon, you will destroy the nice velvety
micro-foam
• After removing the steam wand from the milk, position it over the drip tray and then open
the steam knob for 1-2 seconds to clean out any trapped milk inside the tip and then wipe
it down with a damp cloth immediately or the milk will dry out on the steam wand and will
be difficult to clean.
• While texturizing the milk, if you lower the tip too far into the milk you create turbulence
rather than rolling. Turbulence will not make micro-foam.
• If there are a few bubbles in the milk after you have finished, wait 5-10 seconds to allow
all the remaining bubbles to surface, then simply tap the edge of the pitcher on the
counter and swirl the milk slightly and they will disappear.
• Be sure to keep your steamed milk moving/swirling until you are ready to pour since milk
has a natural tendency to separate.

Hot Water Wand Operation

The hot water wand uses the steam pressure to push the hot water out of the boiler so
•
the steam boiler must be up to temperature before it is able to give any hot water.
To use the hot water wand, position the cup or pitcher under the wand and then open the
•
hot water knob. Once the water has reached the desired level then close the knob.
Important: Do not remove more than 6oz. of water at any one time until the machine has had
time to refill the boiler. Failure to do so may cause damage to the heating element and will
not be covered under warranty.
Warning: The water from the hot water wand is approximately 250° and exits the boiler under
force due to the steam pressure. Extreme caution is advised when using the wand or injury
may occur.
