GUIDE TO MILK

 

TEXTURING

19

Milk texturing is the steaming

 

of milk. The steam does two

 

things; it heats the milk and mixes air with the milk to form a creamy texture. As with learning to make an espresso, perfecting the art of milk texturing takes time and practice.

Before starting to prepare for milk texturing, make sure that the steam/hot water knob is in the steam setting.

1.Determine how much milk is needed based on the number of cups being made.

TIP: Keep in mind that the volume of milk will increase during the texturing.

2. Pour cold refrigerated milk into the stainless frothing pitcher, between to Ú full.

6. Angle the pitcher so that the

24

steam wand is resting on

 

the spout of the pitcher and

 

lower the pitcher until the tip

 

of the steam nozzle is just

 

below the surface of the

 

milk. This will start to create a whirlpool

 

action in the milk (24).

 

NOTE: Do not allow the steam to spurt unevenly or it will create aerated froth/large bubbles. If this is happening, raise the pitcher so that the steam nozzle is lowered farther into the milk.

7.As the steam heats and textures the milk, the level of the milk in the pitcher will begin to rise. As this happens, follow the level of the milk by lowering the pitcher, always keeping the tip of the steam nozzle just below the surface.

8. Once the foam is created,

raise the pitcher until the

 

steam nozzle is in the

 

center of the milk (25).

 

TIP: The amount of foam

 

required will vary depending

 

on the drinks being made; for example, a

 

cappuccino requires more foam than a latte.

 

9. Stop the steam immediately

 

3.Purge the steam wand of any water. With the steam wand positioned over the drip tray, activate the steam function by turning the function knob to the steam setting (20). Once any water has been purged, stop the steam by turning the function knob to the off position (21).

4.Swing the steam wand to the side of the espresso machine (22).

5.Place the steam wand into the milk so that the nozzle is about a half-inch below the surface and activate

the steam function by turning the function knob to the steam setting (23).

10. Remove the pitcher,

 

immediately wipe the

27

 

steam nozzle and wand

 

with a clean damp cloth

 

(27) and purge a small

 

amount of steam.

 

USING THE HOT WATER FUNCTION

When using the hot water function make sure that the steam/hot water knob is in the hot water setting.

1. Place the cup or container under the steam/hot water nozzle and turn the function

knob to the setting (28). 28
