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 micro-
foam with a silky sheen. It’s all about the 
temperature, positioning of the Steam 
Wand and when you move the Milk Jug.
1. Fill Milk Jug
Add cold milk around 4°C into a chilled 
clean Stainless Steel Jug. Fill to the bottom 
of the spout.
A larger capacity Milk Jug is available for 
purchase from Sunbeam. Details are on the 
back page.
2. Steam Warm Up
For best milk texturing results every time, 
ensure 
steam has warmed up before 
texturing milk
. Steam is ready when STEAM 
LIGHT is fully ON. You will also hear the 
Pump start.
3. Position 
Place the Steam Wand Arm in the Jug 
spout at the 12 o'clock position, with the 
Steam Wand Tip in the milk at the 3 o'clock 
position. Keep the Steam Wand Tip just 
under the surface of the milk. This will 
create a whirlpool action.
4. Sound 
How air is introduced to the milk 
determines the consistency of the foam. If 
large gulps of air are added to the milk, the 
foam will have large bubbles. Introducing 
air to the milk in a controlled, gentle 
fashion indicated by a gentle hissing sound, 
will ensure the milk has fine aerated micro-
foam. 
Pro Tip: Milk Texturing Sounds
• Screeching - Tip too deep, lower Jug. 
• Smooth Hissing - Just right for latte. 
• Gurgling - Tip not deep enough, raise Jug.
5. Keeping Steam Tip Position
As the steam heats and textures the milk, 
the milk will stretch causing the level of 
the milk in the Jug to rise. As this happens 
follow the level of the milk by lowering 
the Jug, keeping the Steam Wand Tip just 
below the surface.

6. Amount of Foam
Create the amount of micro-foam you want. 
Cappuccinos traditionally have more micro-
foam 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.
8. Correct Temperature
An indicator that correct milk temperature 
has been reached is when the Jug can only 
be held for approximately 3 seconds. 
Pro Tip: Milk Temperature
• Under - If not heated long enough, it 
 will be warm with little texture.
• Optimum - between 60-65°C. 
• Over - If heated for too long it will  
 start to boil around 72°C, and will 
 have a burnt taste with all texture lost.
9. Tap & Swirl the Jug
Gently tapping the Jug on the benchtop 
helps release larger trapped air bubbles.
Swirling helps the milk and froth to 
combine for an even consistency and a silky 
appearance.
10. The Finishing Touches 
Pour from the Milk Jug into your cup in one 
steady motion. 
11. Purging the Steam Wand
After turning the DIAL to the vertical READY 
position and removing the Jug from the 
Steam Wand, place the Steam Wand over 
the Drip Tray and purge the Steam Wand to 
remove any milk that has been sucked up. 
To purge turn the DIAL to the HOT WATER 
position for a few seconds, then return the 
DIAL to the vertical READY position. 
12. Wipe Steam Wand
Wipe the Steam Wand Arm and Tip with 
a clean damp cloth to remove any milk 
residue.

Note: The volume of milk will increase 
or ’stretch’ during texturing, so don’t 
overfill the Jug.
