How to froth milk like a “barista”

 If possible, use cold and fresh milk with a fat content of approx. 1.5 % or 3 %. Even UHT-milk is suitable.

 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.

 Open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds to release the condensation water and to create dry steam.

 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.

 Slowly open the steam handle (MECHANIKA) or the steam lever valve (MECHANIKA PROFI). The steam

pervades the milk.

 Keep the milk jug still.

 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.

 Attention: When the desired amount of milk froth is reached, immerse the entire steam nozzle in the milk jug

and close the steam handle (MECHANIKA) or the steam lever valve (MECHANIKA PROFI).

Milk proteins “froth” with a temperature up to 77°C.

If this temperature is exceeded, the milk does not froth anymore.

 If there is some milk left in the milk jug, let it cool down; it can be re-used later.

 Advice: 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.

 After frothing the milk, release the steam into the drip tray to avoid the steam nozzle to be blocked.
