Milk texturing is the steaming of milk to heat
it and to create froth. Similar to making an
espresso, perfecting the art of milk texturing
takes time and practice.
• Attach the froth enhancing attachment to
the end of the steam wand/arm on your
espresso machine. You can also choose to
steam the milk without the attachment.
• Using fresh, cold milk, fill a stainless steel
frothing jug to no more than
1
/
3
full.
• The amount of milk you steam should be
adequate for the coffees you are preparing.
Keep in mind that the volume of milk will
increase or ‘stretch’ during the texturing
process.
• Turn the steam dial to the ‘Pre-Heat’
setting (20), the ‘Warm-Up’ light will turn
on. Place the steam wand/arm into the
milk, about a centimetre below the
surface. Once the 'Warm-Up’ light turns
off, turn the steam dial to the steam ‘
’
setting (21). Lower the jug so that the tip
of the steam arm is just below the surface
of the milk.
Note: You should hear a hissing sound. If
you are creating large bubbles, raise the
jug so that the tip of the steam arm is
lowered into the milk.
• Position the tip of the steam arm to one
side of the jug to create a whirlpool motion
in the milk. As the milk begins to rise in
the jug, follow the level of milk always
keeping the steam arm just below the
surface.
• Once the milk has stretched to double its
original volume, lower the steam arm
further into the milk and continue the
whirlpool motion. This will give the milk a
fine texture without big bubbles.
• Cease steaming when the frothing jug
becomes too hot to continue holding the
palm of your hand against the side.
• Pour the textured milk into your espresso
as soon as possible.
Important cleaning instructions for the steam
wand/arm
The steam wand/arm and froth enhancing
attachment needs to be cleaned each time
you froth milk. To clean the steam wand/arm,
wipe with a damp cloth and rinse the froth
enhancing attachment under warm water.
Should your steam wand/arm become blocked,
supplied with your espresso machine is a
cleaning wire. The cleaning wire for the steam
arm is the long BLACK pin, located on the
underside of the water reservoir lid (22). With
the cleaning wire insert it into the hole in the
base of the steam wand/arm (23).
If the steam wand/arm remains blocked, using
the measuring spoon/tamp unscrew the steam
nozzle from the steam arm (24). Clean the
steam nozzle by once again using the cleaning
wire and then flush under running water.
