jug of milk so that the froth enhancer is

 

 

 

just immersed into the milk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: To avoid milk build up, ensure the steam wand is cleaned immediately after each use. The Cleaning Tool is located at the front of the machine under the left of the Group Head.

Step 4

Hold the frothing jug at an angle so that the tip of the Steam Wand sits just below the surface of the milk, and the steam will move the milk around the inside of the jug in a circular motion.

Step 5

When the milk starts to increase in volume, immerse the Steam Wand deeper into the jug to heat the milk. When the base of the jug becomes too hot to touch, set the Selector Control to the ‘Stand By’ position, stopping the steaming function before removing the Steam Wand from the jug.

Step 6

Pour steamed milk into each cup of freshly made espresso coffee and spoon in the milk froth.
