USING THE STEAM WAND

Milk frothing is the steaming of milk. The steam does two things; it heats the milk and mixes air with the milk to form a foamy texture. As with learning to make an espresso, perfecting the art of milk texturing takes time and practice.

1.Determine how much milk is needed based on the number of cups being made. TIP: A minimum of 11/2 ounces

(3 tablespoons) and a maximum of

4 ounces (1/2 cup) can be frothed at one time. If only steaming the milk and not frothing, you may use up to 6 ounces (3/4 cup).

2.Pour cold refrigerated milk into the stainless frothing pitcher.

3.Purge the steam wand of any water. With the steam wand positioned over the drip tray, activate the steam function by pressing the Steam . When light stops flashing turn STEAM control dial fully on. Once water has been purged, turn the control dial back to stop the steam.

4.Swing the steam wand to the side of the espresso machine.

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

6.Activate the steam function by first pressing the Steam button. When light stops flashing, turn the steam control dial to steam position. This will start to create a whirlpool action in the milk. Once the milk begins to steam, bring the nozzle closer to the top of the milk to begin frothing.

It is recommended that you do not exceed 2 minutes of continuous steaming.

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.

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. Smaller bubbles are more stable than the larger ones, therefore making a tighter, longer- lasting froth.
