Milk Froth



Milk Froth
Step by Step Guide
To prepare the ideal milk froth, it is best to use cold milk. The proteins inside the milk are responsible for getting a good froth. These proteins make up about 3.4 per cent of the milk.

Step 01
Fill up one third of the jug with milk, so that the milk has enough space to expand. Open the steam valve of the espresso machine for a few seconds to remove the condensed water from the nozzle. Raise the jug until the steam nozzle protrudes into the milk. Now open the steam valve fully.

Step 02
Lower the jug slowly until the tip of the steam nozzle just protrudes into the milk. Once the milk is frothed, close the valve.

Step 03
After foaming up the milk, clean the nozzle with a cloth and also by opening the valve to prevent milk from entering the boiler and damage the machine. Often the milk is foamed up for too long, thus it is too hot and this destroyes the fine bubbles. Therefore, do not heat the milk above 65 °C. Now pour the frothed milk into the cup.
