How to froth milk like a “barista”
1
If possible, use cold and fresh milk with a fat content of approx. 1.5 % or 3 %. Even UHT-milk is suitable, if
preferred.
2
Use a milk jug (made of metal) with a minimum volume of 0.5 litres. The size of the container should not be too
large. A small and high container is perfect.
3
Open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds to release the condensation water and to create dry steam.
4
Fill 1/3 of the jug with milk and place it under the steam nozzle. The nozzle should be immersed in the middle of
the milk jug.
5
Slowly open the steam lever. The steam pervades the milk.
6
Keep the milk jug still.
7
After a few seconds, you will notice a light suction in the milk jug. The proper frothing begins. Move the milk jug
downwards while the milk level increases. The steam nozzle must be kept under the surface of the frothing milk.
Milk proteins “froth” with a temperature up to 77°C.
If this temperature is exceeded, the milk does not froth anymore.
8
When the desired amount of milk froth is reached, immerse the entire steam nozzle in the milk jug and close the
steam lever.
When the milk frothing is finished, just agitate the milk jug a little bit in order make the milk
bubbles ascend to the surface and to get a compact milk froth.
9
If there is some milk left in the milk jug, let it cool down; it can be re-used later.
10 After frothing the milk, release the steam into the drip tray to avoid the steam nozzle to be blocked.
