an environmentally-friendly manner.
7. Initial use
Before you prepare milk for consumption for the first time, you must first clean the milk frother in

in the ‘Cleaning’ section.
7.1. Inserting the batteries

Insert the batteries with the correct polarity (note the + and - signs). The polarity is marked on
the batteries and in the battery compartment (2).

Dip the whisk (5) into the milk until it is slightly above the base of the container.
Press down on the on/off button (1). The whisk (5) will rotate. The LED ring (4) lights up during
operation.
Swirl in a circular motion until you have created the desired volume of foam. While swirling,
slowly and steadily raise the whisk (5). The whisk (5) must always remain within the milk.
Let go of the on/off button (1) in order to switch off the milk frother. The LED ring (4) will turn

7.3. Tips on how to make good milk froth
We recommend using cow’s milk. Other types of milk behave differently during the frothing
process.
It is best to use milk with a fat content of between 1.5 and 3.5 per cent. Low-fat milk and
skimmed milk do not froth well.
The milk should be cool.
If you want to make warm milk froth, the milk should not exceed a temperature of 60°C.
Otherwise the milk does not froth.
If you find the milk froth to be too liquidy, we recommend leaving it to rest for around 30
seconds. During this time, the liquid milk can sink down and the milk froth achieves a better
consistency.
7.4. Changing the batteries
If the milk frother’s performance declines or the device stops working, you need to replace the
batteries. Proceed as follows to change the ear cushions:
Open the battery compartment (2) by twisting the lid anti-clockwise and removing it.
Remove the old batteries and dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner.
Insert the new batteries with the correct polarity (note the + and - signs). The polarity is marked
on the batteries and in the battery compartment (2). Do not use different batteries (old and
new, alkaline and carbon etc.) at the same time.
Turn the lid clockwise on the battery compartment (2) until it is hand-tight in order to close the
battery compartment (2).

8. Ideas for using milk froth
You can use your freshly made milk froth in various beverages.
We have included some recipes for you here.
Viennese Blend
Freshly brewed coffee
Hot milk
Milk froth
Place the same amount of freshly brewed black coffee and hot milk into a large cup until there is
about one centimetre to the rim of the cup. Pour in the freshly made milk froth.
Latte Macchiato
150 ml milk for the milk froth
1 portion of espresso (25–30 ml)
Use the milk to make fresh milk froth and pour the froth into a latte macchiato glass until the glass is
three quarters full. Next, slowly and carefully pour the espresso into the milk froth. Those who like
strong coffee can add an extra portion of espresso at this stage. Ideally, the espresso has now
collected in the centre. The liquid milk is at the bottom and the top of the drink is crowned by a thick
layer of froth. If there is any leftover milk froth and space in the glass, you can carefully add it to the
rest of the milk froth.
Carajillo – A Spanish drink combining coffee with a shot
1 cup of espresso
1 cl brandy or rum
1–2 cl egg liqueur
1 heaped teaspoon of fine cane sugar
Milk froth
Stir the espresso with the brandy and dissolve the cane sugar in it. Put the egg liqueur into a large
glass and then very slowly slide the espresso over a spoon onto the egg liqueur. This creates two
layers in the glass. Fill the glass with the freshly made milk froth.
Coffee with nut nougat cream
1 cup of freshly brewed coffee
2 teaspoons of nut nougat cream
Milk froth
Stir the nut nougat cream directly into the freshly brewed coffee, provided it is still very hot. Pour in
the freshly made milk froth.
If you like, you can stir some chilli powder into your coffee and sprinkle a little bit onto the milk
froth.
Enjoy!
