Instructions
-
Pour cold milk into a metal pitcher and place it under the steam wand.
-
Insert the steam wand just below the milk's surface, engage the steam, and create a vortex by positioning the wand near the pitcher's side.
-
Move the pitcher up and down to incorporate air, reducing bubble size until the milk doubles in volume for a cappuccino or increases by 1.5 times for a latte.
-
Disengage the steam, remove the wand, and clean it immediately.
-
Pour the frothed milk into your coffee beverage, reserving some for latte art if desired.
