5. Operating Instructions
5.1 General Operation
- Insert the stainless steel whisk into your desired beverage.
- Press and hold the one-touch button on the top of the frother to start rotation.
- Move the frother up and down gently to create foam.
- Release the button to stop the frother.
5.2 Making Rich Foam for Coffee
- Milk Selection: Fresh whole milk works best due to its higher milkfat content. 2% milk also yields good results.
- Milk Temperature: Heating the milk to approximately 60°C/140°F makes it easier to create rich foam.
- Method: Submerge the whisk into the milk. Press the button and move the frother up and down for about 15-20 seconds until desired foam consistency is achieved.
