MANUAL MILK TEXTURING
Auto milk texturing and auto shut-off are
disabled during manual milk texturing mode.
• Always start with fresh cold milk.
• Fill milk jug to below the spout position.
• To remove any condensed water from the
system, ensure the steam wand is in the down
position over the drip tray then momentarily
lift the steam lever.
• Insert the steam tip ¼-¾" (1–2cm) below the
surface of the milk close to the right hand
side of the jug at the 3 o'clock position.
• Lift the steam lever to start the flow
of steam.
• Keep the tip just under the surface of the
milk until the milk is spinning clockwise,
producing a vortex (whirlpool effect).
• With the milk spinning, slowly lower the jug.
This will bring the steam tip to the surface of
the milk & start to introduce air into the milk.
You may have to gently break the surface of
the milk with the tip to get the milk spinning
fast enough.
• Keep the tip at or slightly below the surface,
continuing to maintain the vortex. Texture
the milk until sufficient volume is obtained.
• Lift the handle of the jug to lower the tip
beneath the surface, but keep the vortex of
milk spinning. Use the steam LCD to monitor
the milk temperature. We recommend
130°F–150°F (55°C–65°C).
• Move the steam lever to the center OFF
position BEFORE lowering the jug and
taking the tip out of the milk.
• Wipe the wand & tip with a damp cloth.
Lower steam wand to the down position and
the wand will automatically purge.
• Tap the jug on the counter-top to collapse
any bubbles.
• Swirl the jug to polish and re-integrate
the texture.
• Pour milk directly into the espresso.
• The key is to work quickly, before the milk
begins to separate.
COFFEE BEAN HINTS & TIPS
• Fresh, quality coffee beans will give you the
best possible extraction.
• We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans
with a 'Roasted On' date stamped on the bag,
not a 'Best Before' or 'Use By' date.
• Coffee beans are best consumed between
5-20 days after the 'Roasted On' date. Ideally
only grind directly before the extraction to
maximize flavor.
• Buy coffee beans in small batches to reduce
the storage time.
• Store coffee beans in a cool, dark and dry
container. Vacuum seal if possible.
