A GUIDE TO INGREDIENTS
Different milks, for example UHT long life, fresh semi-skimmed milk and whole milk will all froth to different levels so you may need to reduce the amount of milk you use.

  • Semi-skimmed milk often gives the best results for frothing.
  • Add your other ingredients (for example, coffee, drinking chocolate, sugar) to your mug and pour the warmed milk on top of them. Do not put the additions into the Milk Frother as the sugars may cause it to overheat.

USER TIPS

  • Only heat milk in the Milk Frother. Do not put other ingredients, such as drinking chocolate, coffee or sugar into the Milk Frother.
  • Certain types of milk, for example long life, can froth more than others, so your milk may leak out – reduce the amount of this kind of milk.
  • Rinse the jug as soon as you have finished using it and it will be easier to clean.
