Preparing
Do not use a pitcher
which has just been
washed in warm wa-
ter. We also recom-
mend a beverage
thermometer
preparing the best
frothed and steamed
milk. The ideal end
temperature
frothed or steamed
milk
C
140°F - 165°F. Any
type of milk can be
used when frothing.
Whole milk will pro-
duce good microfoam
(small bubbles) while
low-fat and fat-free
milk will produce
large, airy bubbles in
the froth. Non-dairy
milks will not hold
the froth as well but
can be steamed and
heated for lattes.

5.1.6 Frothing Milk
1. First prepare espresso into a
large, pre-heated cup as de-
scribed in chapter 5d, "Brewing
Espresso".
2. Fill a small stainless steel or
ceramic pitcher 1/2 full with
cold milk and set aside.
3. Before
frothing,
recommended to purge the
frothing wand (10) of any hot
water. Place a cup under the
frothing wand (or turn the
frothing wand directly into
the drip tray (9)). Once the
indicator light is solid blue,
turn the Control Knob (5) to
the right towards the "Steam
icon". The indicator light blinks
red for 5-8 seconds while the
water is purged from the wand.
Once the water is purged, the
indicator light will turn blue,
and steam is produced from
the frothing wand. Turn the
Control Knob back to the "O"
position. The indicator light is
now illuminated red indicating
the machine is ready to froth/
steam milk.
