5.2. Steaming Milk for Cappuccinos and Lattes

To create frothed milk for your beverages:

2. Preheat Steam Wand: After brewing espresso, or if steaming milk separately, ensure the machine is powered on. Turn the control dial to the "Steam" position. Allow the machine to heat up for a minute or two until steam begins to emit steadily from the nozzle.
3. Leite espumoso: Submerge the steam nozzle just below the surface of the milk in the pitcher. Turn the control dial to "Steam". Move the pitcher slowly up and down to incorporate air and create froth. Continue until the milk reaches the desired temperature and consistency.
4. Desactivar Steam: Once frothing is complete, turn the control dial to "Off".
5. Limpar a vara de vapor: Limpe inmediatamente a lanza de vapor con adamp cloth to remove any milk residue. Run a small amount of steam through the nozzle to clear any internal blockages.
