Steam milk

Steam milk, and hot water (the manual)

The manual's steps.

1. Open the steam lever briefly first, so milk is not sucked back into the boiler.
2. Put the steam tip into the milk.
3. Press the lever down and hold it, or lift it to lock it open. More opening gives more steam.
4. Let the lever go back to the centre and take the jug away.
5. Wipe the wand with a damp cloth straight away.
6. For hot water, hold a cup under the nozzle, press the right lever down, and let go to stop.

Stretch, then spin

How to texture milk on the BZ10's 2-hole tip. Common practice; the temperature is La Marzocco's.

1. Give the steam tap a short burst to clear the water, as the manual says.
2. Fill a cold metal jug a third full with milk straight from the fridge and raise it round the tip.
3. With the tip just under the surface, press the tap: a soft hiss lets air in. Lower the jug as the milk grows.
4. Raise the jug so the tip is deeper and the milk turns.
5. Let go of the tap at 60 to 65 °C, when the jug is too hot to hold, then take the jug away. Wipe the wand at once.
