How to Steam Milk (Non-Fat or 2% Recommended)
1.
Fill the carafe with water to the 'STEAM' icon level marker and add water to the
water tank.
2.
Follow the 'How to Brew Espresso' through step 7.
3.
Move the control dial from the 'ESPRESSO CUP' icon to the 'PAUSE' position.
Remove the carafe from the drip tray, away from the machine.
4.
Ensure the plastic cover is installed on the steam wand. Place a damp towel over
the steam wand and briefly purge by slowly moving the control dial from 'PAUSE' to
the 'STEAM' icon, clearing any residue. Turn the dial back to 'PAUSE.'
Steam Milk – Creates Hot Milk for Lattes
1.
Fill up to 2/3 cold milk in a stainless-steel frothing pitcher or similarly sized cup.
2.
Position the frothing pitcher under the steam wand, submerging the tip deeper into
the milk creating less bubbles.
3.
Slowly turn the dial towards the 'STEAM' position to start steaming. Continue to
steam milk until pitcher is almost too hot to handle.
4.
Turn the dial to the off position before moving the wand outside of the milk.
Froth & Steam Milk – Creates Hot Milk with Foam for Cappuccino
1.
Fill frothing pitcher or similarly sized cup with 1/3 cold milk.
2.
Place the wand into the frothing pitcher, submerging it just below the milks surface.
Slowly turn the dial towards the 'STEAM' position to start steaming.
3.
Keep the wand just below the surface of the milk to create microbubbles, the frothy
foam used for cappuccinos. Continue to steam until volume doubles.
4.
Slowly lower the wand towards the bottom of the pitcher and keep until the froth
and milk becomes silky smooth and the pitcher is almost too hot to handle. Turn
the dial to the off position before moving the wand outside of the milk. Heavier
steamed milk will settle at the bottom of the pitcher and will pour out before the
froth. Left over froth is used as a top layer on drinks.
