Frothing Milk

  1. Place frothing whisk securely into the frothing jug. Position the flat end of the frother whisk over the rod at the bottom of the frothing jug and push down until it is secure. Do not operate the frother without a frothing whisk installed into the jug, as this can cause uneven heating and burning.
  2. Pour fresh, cold milk of choice into the frothing jug between the MIN and MAX frothing indicator lines. See "Milk Measurements" on page 12. Do not overfill the jug. Overfilling may cause the milk frother to overflow when using a foam setting.
  3. Cover the frothing jug with the lid.
  4. Place the frothing jug securely on the frother base.
  5. Press ▶️ Start button to begin frothing with default or previously used settings, or
  6. Change the ?️ and ☕ settings and then press ▶️. See "Temperature and Foam Settings" on page 9.
  7. The frother will “beep" one time and begin the frothing cycle. To stop frothing, press the ❌ Cancel button or remove the frothing jug.
  8. When the milk has reached the correct temperature and thickness the frother will stop, return to Ready mode and "beep" one time.
  9. Carefully remove the frothing jug from the frother base using the stay-cool frother handle. Serve the foam with a spoon or pour directly from the spout.
  10. Enjoy your beverage!

The frothing jug must always be in place on the frother base for your Instant™ Frother Station to operate. Removing it at any time before or during use will automatically stop frothing and the frother returns to Ready mode.

Milk Measurements

Be careful: Frothing causes liquids to reach high temperatures. DO NOT touch the frother jug or frother base during or immediately after the brewing process as both will be very hot. Touching hot surfaces may result in burns, other personal injury and/or property damage.

Milk Level Marking Components
MAX ?️ (Heating) 503ml / 17 oz. Maximum level for heating milk
MAX ☕ (Foam) 251ml / 8.5 oz. Maximum level for milk frothing at Foam setting
MAX ☕ (Extra Foam) 192ml / 6.5 oz. Maximum level for more milk frothing at Extra Foam setting
MIN 100ml / 3.4 oz. Minimum level for milk heating and frothing

Be careful: To avoid overflow when using the Extra Foam ☕ setting, do not add more than 192ml milk to the frothing jug.

Frothing Tips

Tip Details
Cold milk is best Using the coldest, freshest milk will almost always produce the best foam. When frothing, millions of tiny air bubbles are introduced into the liquid. The longer it takes to heat up, the more air can be infused into the liquid. The end result is silky rich foam and less chance of scalding.
Not all dairy-free milks produce foam Milk with lots of fat will form a thick, creamy foam. Milk with less fat and more protein will create a light, airy foam. Some plant-based milks are too watery to create the best results. See “Types of Milk” on the following page.
Infuse your foam with flavour Before frothing, add aromatic spices to the jug, like cinnamon, cardamom or nutmeg, or other fragrant items like lavender.
Let the frother rest When frothing up large batches of foam, we suggest letting your frother rest for 3-4 minutes after every 2 frothing cycles to ensure it continues to perform at its best.
Creating latte art As soon as the frother finishes whipping up your warm foam, lift the jug off the base (lid on) and gently swirl the jug. This helps give your latte foam a glossiness ideal for latte art. Experiment with different milks for the best results.

Types of Milk

As you begin using your Instant™ Frother Station you will discover that different milk types and brands produce different types of foam. Depending on your personal taste and desired results, you can experiment with dairy, nut and plant-based milks.

Milk Type Froth Description Notes
Dairy Milk – Whole (3.5% fat) The ideal overall frothing milk. Creates a rich, creamy foam with tiny micro bubbles. May take a bit longer to froth. Best if served immediately as it can deflate quickly. Good for latte art.
Dairy Milk – Skim Froths up quickly creating light, airy foam that holds together a long time, with larger bubbles. Ideal for drinks with a lower milk-to-coffee ratio. Good for latte art.
Dairy Milk – 2% Performs very similarly to whole milk, creating rich, stable foam. Froths up quickly. A great, lower-fat substitute to whole milk froth. Good for latte art.
Oat Milk One of the best dairy-free options. Creates a very rich, sweet and creamy foam. Try different brands to find the best results. May work for latte art.
Soy Milk A great dairy-free option. Froths easily with creamy foam comparable to dairy. Froth does not pour easily. Not ideal for latte art. May curdle when added to hot coffee. Good for cold coffee.
Almond Milk Contains more fat than most plant-based milks and froths up well. A dense, but light foam. Froths best at room temperature.
Coconut Milk Produces very mixed results. Will only produce cold foam, without heat. Some brands froth well, and others are too watery to perform. Choose carton milk over canned for best results. Cold foam only but a great milk for heated milk drinks.
Rice/Cashew/ Macadamia/ Hemp Often too watery to produce good foam or foam that lasts. Try one of our suggested milks above or experiment with different brands to find one that works best. Good dairy-free options for tasty cold or heated milk beverages without foam.

Recipes to try with your Instant™ Frother Station

Latte
Pour a single shot of espresso and 2/3 cup of heated milk, then add a layer of rich milk foam on the top.

Flat white
Pour a double shot of espresso into the cup, then add heated milk to fill the cup and add a dollop of foam to the top layer.

Iced coffee/cold brew/iced chocolate
Mix cold, foamed milk with coffee or cold brew and top with ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate chips.

Care, Cleaning and Storage

Your Instant™ Frother Station jug and whisk should be cleaned after each use to avoid any residue buildup.

Unplug the frother's power cord from the power outlet and let it cool to room temperature before cleaning. Never use metal scouring pads, abrasive powders, or harsh chemical detergents on any of the frother's parts.

Let all parts dry thoroughly before each use and before storage.

Parts and accessories Cleaning methods and instructions
Jug, lid and whisk Can be removed and washed by hand with dish soap and warm water or placed in the top rack of a dishwasher.
Frother base Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outside of the frother and control panel.
Power cord DO NOT fold power cord when storing.

⚠️ Be careful: The frother contains electrical components. To avoid fire, electric shock, other personal injury and/or property damage:

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Milk is not frothing The frothing whisk is not installed correctly. Remove the liquid from the jug. Position the square end of the frother whisk over the rod at the bottom of the jug and push down until it is secure.
Milk is too hot. Use cold, freshly opened milk. Do not re-foam already heated milk. Try a different kind of milk. See "Types of Milk" on page 14 for suggestions.
Adding dense ingredients like thick syrups can reduce the amount of foam produced. Consider adding these ingredients to the heated milk after frothing instead.
The inside of the jug or the frothing whisk contains milk residue. Clean the jug and frothing whisk. See "Care, Cleaning and Storage" instructions on page 16.
Different types and brands of milk and dairy-free milk alternatives may froth differently. See "Types of Milk" on page 14 to experiment with different milks.
Milk is not heating The temperature setting is not correct. Make sure the jug is correctly positioned on the frother base. Increase the heating temperature setting by pressing the ?️ button and selecting a higher temp option.
Ingredients are not melting Ingredients were added before the milk was heated. For best results, warm milk to desired temperature then add ingredients/ chocolate.
Ingredients were too large to melt. Keep the ingredients cut into small pieces – less than 1/2 inch diameter.
Milk is burned Milk is not whisking/ frothing/stirring correctly. Make sure the frothing whisk is correctly installed in the jug. Position the square end of the frother whisk over the rod at the bottom of the jug and push down until it is secure.
All four LEDs blink repeatedly The jug was not cleaned after last use and the milk residue has scorched. Always clean the jug and whisk thoroughly after each use for best results.
Frother is overflowing with milk/foam The unit is defective or damaged. There was too much milk added for the foam setting. Contact Customer Care. Do not add milk beyond the MAX level markings on the frothing jug. See "Milk Measurements" guide on page 12.
