Steam is hot and powerful
Use the machine’s handle or insulated grip, keep hands away from the wand tip and direct purges into the drip tray. Steam can cause burns.
A repeatable sequence
- Start with cold milk in a clean pitcher.
- Purge condensation as the manual directs.
- Position the tip near the surface to introduce air.
- Lower the tip slightly to create a rolling motion.
- Stop before milk becomes too hot to control.
- Wipe and purge the wand immediately.
Machine designs differ
Single-boiler machines may require a wait between brewing and steaming. Thermoblock and dual-heating systems can change the workflow. Follow instructions for cooling or refilling a boiler after steaming.
Never remove a pressurized steam tip or open a boiler. Let the machine cool and use qualified service when blocked parts cannot be cleared by the approved external procedure.
