Perfecting Your Frothing Technique

  1. Start with Cold Milk: Begin with cold milk from the fridge. This gives you more time to create microfoam before the milk reaches its optimal temperature (60–65°C for most milk types).
  2. Purge the Steam Wand: Before frothing, ensure that your steam wand is clean and free of water. A quick purge releases any condensation.
  3. Submerge and Angle: Submerge the steam wand tip just below the surface of the milk and angle the jug slightly. This creates a whirlpool effect, incorporating air into the milk.
  4. Position the Jug: Move the jug up and down slightly to create smooth, velvety microfoam.
  5. Watch for Temperature: As the jug begins to warm up, aim to bring it slightly above body temperature, around 60-65°C.
