Make coffee as described in the «Making Espresso» section, in a preheated cup of a size sufficient for adding the whipped milk foam.

NOTE :

It is recommended to make the desired quantity of espresso before whipping the milk foam as during steaming the water in the boiler will be heated to a much higher temperature than required for making espresso, which will make the coffee taste entirely differently;
Take a 5 – to 10 – minute break after making the milk foam before making the next batch;
You can reduce the time required for the water temperature to drop, to do that place the cup under the filter holder (do not fill the filter with ground coffee) and turn on manual supply by pressing the button «РУЧНАЯ ПОДАЧА», after filling the cup press the button again to stop the water flow.

Lower the nozzle into a container with cold milk or cream, the nozzle should not touch the bottom of the container, as this will block the steam exit.
Slowly turn the steam regulator knob and fully open the steam supply.
NOTE: in order to prevent the milk from splashing always submerge the nozzle deeper than 1 cm below the surface of the milk.
The exiting steam will create turbulences aiding in the forming of the milk foam; regularly raise and lower the milk container relative to the nozzle until the foam is whipped.
Beware of the hot steam exiting during operation; after whipping the foam close the steam supply by turning the steam regulator knob to the «ВЫКЛ» position.
Add the milk foam to the cup with coffee.
