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 nozzle on your
espresso machine. You can also choose to
steam the milk without the attachment.
• Using fresh, cold milk, fill the 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.
• Before inserting the steam nozzle into the
milk, activate the steam function to
remove any condensed water. To do this,
hold an empty glass or cloth under the
steam nozzle and turn the operating dial to
the steam position.
• Insert the steam nozzle into the frothing
jug. Lower the jug so that the tip of the
steam nozzle is just below the surface of
the milk and place your hand on the side
of the jug.
• Move the frothing jug so that the steam
nozzle is to one side, this will create a
whirlwind motion in the milk. As the steam
heats the milk, the milk will begin to rise.
Follow the level of the milk by lowering the
jug, always keeping the tip of the steam
nozzle just below the surface.
• Once the milk has stretched to double its
original volume, lower the steam nozzle
further into the milk and continue the
whirlwind motion. This will give the milk
a fine texture with no 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.
