THE ART OF TEXTURING MILK

USING THE HOT WATER FUNCTION

There are two phases to texture milk: Stretching the milk to aerate it and swirling the milk to make it silky smooth and the right temperature.

In practice these two operations should blend into one.

NOTE:

The espresso machine features

a swivel steam wand assembly so the position of the steam wand can be changed to a comfortable angle.

STEP 1 - STRETCHING THE MILK

Hold the jug so the tip of the steam wand is just below the surface of the milk and with your free hand engage the steam. Every so often lower the jug so the steam wand just breaks the surface of the milk and makes a ‘hissing’ sound.

Stretching the milk will increase the volume, so lower the jug as the milk rises to ensure the tip remains just above the surface of the milk.

STEP 2 - SWIRLING THE MILK

After a short while you will have aerated suffi ciently. At this point, adjust the jug so the steam wand is off-center and create a spinning motion in the milk. Compensate for the angle of the steam wand by slightly tilting the jug away from you, or to one side and at the same time lower the nozzle further into the body of the milk.

Continue swirling until milk is at desired temperature (between 130°F-150°F). Without a thermometer you’ll know the milk is ready when the jug base is ‘just too hot’ to touch.

When you get the balance right the milk should end up forming a ‘meringue-like’ consistency that has a glassy sheen to it. Remove any excess air bubbles by gently knocking the jug against a hard fl at surface and pour the milk down the inside of your chosen cup or glass to make your desired espresso variation.

Lastly, run the Steam function briefl y to remove any residual milk in the steam wand tip. Then give the steam wand a good wipe with a damp cloth.

NOTE:

After 5 minutes of continuous

steaming, the machine will automatically disable the steam function. The steam and hot water lights will flash. When this occurs return the selector control to the ‘Standby’ position.

NOTE:

Always ensure that the frothing attachment has been firmly pushed onto the steam wand and connects with the rubber surround. For best results use cold fresh milk (low fat milk will froth easier). Always clean the steam wand and frothing attachment after every use. Refer to ‘Care and Cleaning’, page 33.

NOTE:

For extracting more espresso immediately after using the steam function, this machine features an auto-purge function. This ensures that ground espresso will not be burnt by the initial water flow from the thermoblock being too hot. Instead this water is automatically released internally into the drip tray ensuring that the internal thermostat is at optimal temperature for extracting espresso. Your espresso will always be extracted at this optimal temperature ensuring only the best flavored espresso is achieved.

The espresso machine features a separate hot water function that can be used for making tea, hot chocolate and other warm drinks. The hot water is dispensed from the dedicated Hot Water Wand.

Place a jug or cup underneath the Hot Water Wand to collect the hot water.

To use the hot water function, turn the Selector Control to HOT WATER. The hot water light will illuminate when selected.

To turn the hot water off, turn the Selector Control to the ‘Standby’ position.

Limit the extraction of hot water to 67 oz (2 liters) each use.

The machine is not designed to make large pots of coffee and tea. The more hot water used at the one time, the cooler it becomes.

NOTE:

After 2 minutes of continued hot

water use, the machine will automatically disable the hot water function. The steam and hot water lights will flash. When this occurs return the selector to the ‘Standby’ position.
