Milk that has been textured correctly has a thick, rich microfoam with a
silky sheen. Texturing involves both heating and aerating milk using
steam. Vital elements include positioning of the Steam wand ⓰ ,when to
adjust the Milk Jug position and reaching the correct temperature. Use
the below steps to help you create café-style microfoam.
For a better result, we suggest you, every time before starting the frothing,
to release some water out from the Steam wand ⓰ and rinse the Pitcher.
Press the steam button ❹ from the ready
mode, and it starts to blink white light slowly.
The steam button ❹ stops blinking and keeps
white light fixed. It means the heating for
steam is finished.
Note:For a better taste and your good health, we suggest you
rinse the pitcher and release some water out from the Steam wa-
nd ⓰ .
OPERATION STEPS
ⒶTurn on the steam/water knob ⓮ to the
“ ” position for 10 seconds and there
will be water coming out from the froth
nozzle⓱ . Be careful of the hot steam.
Then turn the steam/water knob ⓮ to the
“ ”position fully, steam will come out
from the Froth nozzle ⓱.
Note: The volume of milk will increase or ’stretch’ during tex-
turing, so don’t overfill the pitcher.
HOW TO MAKE MILK FOAM
ⒷTurn the steam/water knob ⓮ to horizo-
ntal position(off-position). Pour away the
water in the pitcher.
Fill milk pitcher:
Add 100-150mL of cold milk around 4°C(40
℉) into a chilled clean stainless steel pitc-
her. Fill to the bottom of the pitcher spout.
Steam Warm Up:

Barista Tip: Milk Temperature
• Under: If not heated long enough, it will
be warm with little texture.
• Optimum: See below table.
• Over: If heated for too long it will start to
boil around 72°C and will have a burnt
taste with all texture lost.
Correct Temperature:
An indication of reaching correct milk temperature is when the pitcher
base can only be touched comfortably for approximately 3 seconds.
MILK TEMPERATURE
Full & Skim 60-65°C
55-65°C
65-70°C
55-60°CSoy
Almond
Coconut
Position:
Place the Steam wand ⓰ Arm in the
pitcher spout at the 12 o'clock position,
with the Froth nozzle ⓱ in the milk at the
3 o'clock position, a finger width away
from the edge of the pitcher. Keep the
Froth nozzle ⓱ just under the surface of
the milk. Turn steam/water knob ⓮ back
to STEAM position to start texturing. A
whirlpool action should be created in the
pitcher.
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 microfoam.
Barista Tip: Milk Texturing Sounds
• Gurgling: Froth nozzle ⓱ not deep enough, raise pitcher.
• Smooth Hissing: Just right for latte.
• Screeching: Froth nozzle ⓱ too deep, lower pitcher.
Amount of Foam:
Create the amount of microfoam you want. Cappuccinos traditionally
have more microfoam than flat whites.
Note:Some adjustments to technique will be required when
using non-dairy milk.
Keeping Froth nozzle ⓱ Position :
As the steam heats & textures the milk, the
milk will stretch causing the level of the
milk in the pitcher to rise. As this happens
follow the level of the milk by lowering the
pitcher, keeping the Froth nozzle ⓱ just
below the surface.
Immerse Froth nozzle ⓱:
After creating the desired amount of foam,
immerse the Steam wand ⓰ half depth
way into the milk. This heats all the milk
and pulls in milk instead of air. This ensures
the milk & foam are blended together, ma-
king it denser & smoother.

2019
Wipe Steam wand ⓰ :
Wipe the Steam wand ⓰ Arm & froth nozzle
⓱ with a clean damp cloth to remove any m-
ilk residue.
Tap & Swirl the Pitcher :
Gently tapping the Pitcher on the benchtop
helps to release larger trapped air bubbles.
Swirling helps the milk & froth to combine for
an even consistency & a silky appearance.
(1)After making the froth milk through the
steps above, if you want to continue to
brew coffee, by press the single cup button
❷ or double cup button ❸.
(2)You will find the high-temperature status.

cup button ❷ and double cup button ❸
are blinking blue light quickly, and the
power button ❶ is blinking red light quickly
It is necessary to cool down the machine
firstly. Then we could continue to brew
espresso.
Note:Above recommendations might vary from one milk
brand to another and depending on your taste preference.
Note:If steam function is being used for more than 5 minutes,
the Power button ❶ blinks red light quickly, and the steam butt-
on ❹ blinks white light quickly. Thus, reset steam/water knob
⓮ to horizontal position (off-position) to stop it.
After the milk increase in volume by two
times or your required purpose is reach-
ed, you can turn the steam/water knob ⓮
to horizontal position(off-position). The
Single/short cup button ❷ and Double/l-
ong cup button ❸ do not light up. Beca-
