Manual Milk Frothing
The machine includes a traditional milk frother to prepare creamy milk foam for your favorite milk beverages or to dispense hot water for tea or infusions.
- Prepare the Frother: Position the steam wand over the drip tray.
- Froth Milk: Fill a jug with cold milk. Immerse the steam wand into the milk. Activate the steam function using the control panel. Move the jug slowly to create desired foam texture.
- Clean After Use: After frothing, immediately clean the steam wand with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue from drying. Run a short burst of steam to clear any internal blockages.
