Tips for Milk Texturing Milk texturing is the steaming of milk. Key Elements to Textured Milk The steam only heats the milk. The milk also needs to be aerated (add air) to create the micro-foam, and needs to be blended well together. Milk that has been textured correctly has been heated to between 60-65°C, and has a thick, rich microfoam with a silky sheen. It’s all about the temperature, positioning of the Steam Wand and when you move the Milk Jug. 1.
Tips for Milk Texturing 6. Amount of Foam Create the amount of micro-foam you want. Cappuccinos traditionally have more microfoam than a flat white. (See Coffee Styles on the next page) 7. Immerse Tip After you have created the amount of foam you want, immerse the Steam Wand half way down the milk level. This heats all the milk and pulls in milk instead of air. This ensures the milk and foam is blended together, making it denser and smoother. 10.
Coffee Styles to Try Espresso (Short Black) Espresso is a concentrated, full bodied coffee with a stable layer of ‘crema’ on top. An espresso is the foundation of all café coffee. • Espresso glass (90mL) • Single or double shot of espresso (30mL-60mL) Ristretto A ristretto is an extremely short espresso, distinguished by its intense flavour and aftertaste. • Espresso cup (30mL) • Half a single shot of espresso (15mL) Long Black (Americano) A standard espresso with hot water added.
Coffee Styles to Try Flat White An espresso with textured milk and a thin layer of textured foam milk on top. The wider cup will create the slim layer of foam, the signature of the flat white. • Wide cup (190mL) • Single or double shot of espresso (30mL-60mL) • Textured milk & foam. Latte An espresso with textured milk and a finger width layer of textured foam milk on top. The narrower cup will create the thicker layer of foam.

The flashing light combination will change to the ON/OFF & READY LIGHTS.
Troubleshooting Guide PROBLEM Possible Cause What To Do Group Handle comes off during espresso pour. Group Handle is not attached correctly, or has not been tightened sufficiently.
