Steam milk
De'Longhi's milk, step by step
De'Longhi's method.
- Press the steam button. Its light flashes while it heats.
- Pour about 100 g of skimmed or semi-skimmed milk per cappuccino, straight from the fridge (about 5 °C), into a jug. It grows to 2 or 3 times its volume.
- Set the ring: down at CAPPUCCINO for froth, up at HOT MILK for hot milk without froth.
- When the steam light is steady, open the dial for a few seconds over an empty container to purge water, then close it.
- Put the frother into the milk, never past the black ring, and open the dial. Move the jug slowly in circles, from the bottom up.
- Close the dial to ○ at about 60 °C. Steam for no more than 60 seconds.
Get Started guide: tap the jug to burst big bubbles, swirl it for a gloss and pour straight away. Then clean the frother and cool the boiler before the next coffee.
