Always use cold (straight from the fridge) and very fresh milk. All milks will froth if they are fresh and cold. If you use skimmed milk, long-life skimmed milk will give better results.
Make sure that the container that you use to froth the milk is also cold/chilled. A stainless steel or glass container helps to give the best results.
Milk frothing in 6 Steps:
• Use a suitable size jug and half fill with cold milk.
• Insert tip of nozzle just under top of milk.
• Rapidly open the steam valve, one half turn to the fully open position.
• Move the jug steadily down until you hear a distinctive SSSST…SSSST sound.
• Continue lowering the jug steadily (without shaking), in the manner of a lift, stretching the milk to the top of the jug, creating a dense foam.
• Keep heating the milk until the thermometer (if you have one) approaches 60 °C. Turn off the valve, remove and immediately wipe the steam arm.
Tap water (normal household potable water) is perfectly OK as long as it is free of odors that might alter the taste of the beverage. Bottled water is also OK.
Do not use refrigerated or warm water as this might impact the temperature of the beverage.
Use always fresh water and replace the water if system has not been used for more than 2 days.
For cold beverages, use water at ambient temperature, never refrigerated water, and place two or more ice cubes (20g per ice cube) in the cup.
To be noticed that water hardness is the first reason of machine calcification and so it is recommended to descale the machine frequently (every 3months or less according to water hardness).
Poke a fine needle through the blockage. To ensure that the steam nozzle remains clear, always turn the steam knob to the steam position for a moment to blow out any residual milk from the nozzle (putting an empty container below to catch the drops) after making your Cappuccino. Clean the steam nozzle and frothing aid with a damp cloth immediately after the frothing operation.
Scale deposits naturally form in your coffee maker. Regular descaling helps protect your coffee maker and ensures it a longer life. It will also help maintain a quality of coffee that remains constant over time.
Do not wash the espresso accessories in the dishwasher.
Empty the drip tray regularly and, if necessary, clean it and the grid with water and a little mild detergent; then rinse and dry.
The brewing head, filter holder and filter must be cleaned after each use with a damp cloth in the case of the brewing head, and a little mild detergent and water in the case of the filter holder and filter. Rinse and dry.
The warming tray should be maintained in the same way.
Follow the instructions in your personal instruction manual for descaling your machine as techniques vary according to the model you own.
We recommend using the descaling product provided by the manufacturer.
For a daily average usage of 4 cups and if the water is hard, we recommend descaling your machine at least every 3 months.
If you live in an area where the water is very hard, you may wish to descale more often.
Yes, if it is coated with scale.
Clean it with water and/or cleaning products recommended by the device manufacturer.
This can prevent clogging in the water outlet and hygiene issues.
