Steam milk

Steam on, purge, froth, purge

  1. Press the steam button. The heating lamp comes on.
  2. When it is hot, open the steam valve for about 5 seconds to blow out water. Do this twice more, about 10 seconds apart.
  3. Froth the milk. Have it ready, because steam heating stops by itself after about 5 minutes.
  4. Switch steam off. Purge the wand into the drip tray and wipe it with a damp cloth at once.

Stretch, then spin

The manual's "froth milk like a barista", with the temperature from La Marzocco's steaming guide.

  1. Fill a narrow metal jug of at least 350 ml a third full with cold milk, 3.5 % fat or less.
  2. Open the steam valve for about 5 seconds to blow out the water.
  3. Put the tip just under the surface in the middle of the jug and open the valve slowly.
  4. Hold still: a light sucking sound means air is going in. Lower the jug as the milk rises, then sink the tip to spin the milk.
  5. Close the valve when the jug is too hot to hold, about 60 to 65 °C. Purge and wipe the wand.
  6. Tap the jug and swirl it until the milk is glossy.
