SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
The quantity and quality of the foam depend on many factors, including the milk fat content, the use of fresh or long-life milk, the milk temperature, and the brand. To avoid that milk frothing excessively, if you are using a new type of milk does not immediately fill the container up to the MAX mark, but first, make a test with a smaller amount. If milk should spill, immediately turn off the appliance. Wait until it cools a little, then clean it (see “Cleaning” chapter). We got the best results with semi-skimmed milk (1.5% fat).

FAULTS AND SOLUTIONS
FAQ’s
What is a milk frother used for?
With a milk frother, you may turn milk into microfoam and thick, velvety foam in the kitchen. To make café au lait, cappuccinos, lattes, and other beverages, frothed milk is typically added to coffee and espresso.
How much electricity is consumed by a milk frother?
If you prefer white coffee, a milk frother will use about 540W of power.
What is the benefit of frother?
Making the drink thicker in texture and giving it a layer of foamy milk froth will give you a new flavour sensation! Your drinks will appear and taste like they were created by a skilled barista, but in the convenience of your own home, by using a milk frother to add a coating of froth.
How long should a milk frother be used?
Turn on the frother after inserting it. With a cappuccino, you’ll want more foam than, say, a latte, so foam for 20 to 45 seconds, or until you reach your preferred consistency. As you froth, be careful to move the frother up and down the cup.
Do frothers require batteries?
Two AA batteries should power a strong milk frother.
What is the ideal temperature for milk to be frothed?
Typically, the optimal temperature range for foaming hot milk is between 140 and 155 °F/60 and 68 °C. The milk won’t be conducive to a fine froth if it boils and gets too heated.
A milk frother, does it also heat?
Jug frothers give you the chance to froth and heat milk at the same time. When whisking the milk to create smooth, even foam, they employ induction coils to generate heat within the container. Jug milk frothers are excellent for both new users and seasoned coffee drinkers because they are inexpensive and simple to operate.
Does cold or hot milk foam better?
Fresher milk froths better, and colder milk also steams better. Keep your steaming jug as cold as you can. Milk won’t foam if it is warm, hot, or old.
Can milk be heated in a milk frother?
Because electric frothers can heat milk, handheld frothers cannot, therefore if you want hot frothed milk with a handheld frother (like for a latte), you must heat the milk beforehand.
What happens when milk is frothed for too long?
Overdoing it, however, might cause the mixture to curdle, taste sour, and spoil the foam. The ideal serving temperature is between 130 and 150 degrees, with alternative milk generally being served at somewhat lower temps. Holding the pitcher correctly is essential if you want to guarantee that you reach a high enough ultimate temperature.
How can a milk frother be made cold?
Simply add milk or a dairy-free substitute to your milk frother to prepare. Press Start after setting the dial to “cold foam” or “cold stir”. I’m done now! Pour into your preferred iced tea or coffee beverage.
Is cream compatible with a milk frother?
You can froth and steam milk, half and half, or heavy whipping cream. Although technically you could use an electric hand frothing tool without any heat to whip coffee creamer into a little thicker consistency, steaming coffee creamer is not advised.
Is it necessary to heat the milk before frothing?
Whatever method you use, heating the milk will yield the finest results. In a saucepan, heat the milk until it is scorching, or 150 degrees Fahrenheit (measure using a food thermometer). Although warm to the touch, this is not simmering. Make the foam bubbles unique to your beverage.
Why does my milk suddenly lose its foam?
The milk starts to separate from the foam while the beverage rests, which causes the smaller air bubbles to rise.
Can milk be frothed twice?
The protein in milk is practically cooked when it is heated; as a result, it hardens and aids in the trapping of air to produce foam. Hence, as you might expect, if you continue to heat the milk a second time, the proteins that first helped the foam develop have already been denatured.
What temperature is ideal for drinking milk?
Drinking cold milk during the day in the summer is beneficial since it helps to chill the body. It is one of the greatest ways to relieve acidity, which might burn. A high calcium intake can also stop acidity.
