GUIDE TO MILK
TEXTURING
Milk texturing is the steaming of milk. The steam
does two things; it heats the milk and mixes air
with the milk to form a foamy texture. As with
learning to make an espresso, perfecting the art
of milk texturing takes time and practice.
1. Determine how much milk is needed based
on the number of cups being made.
TIP: Keep in mind that the volume of milk will
increase during the texturing.
2. Pour cold refrigerated milk into the stainless
frothing pitcher, between ½ to ²∕
³
full.
3. Press the steam button which will flash, and
become solid when unit is ready for use.
4. Purge the steam wand of
any water. With the steam
wand positioned over the
drip tray, activate the steam
function by turning the
steam and hot water control
dial to the
left (30). Once any
water has been purged stop
the steam by turning the
steam and hot water control
dial to the center position
(31).
5. Swing the steam wand to
the side of the espresso
machine (32).
6. Place the steam wand into
the milk so that the nozzle is
about a half-inch below the
surface and activate the
steam function by turning the steam and hot
water control dial to the
setting (33).
