A slight Silvia frothing video

Nice job!

Good video

I experience that you only get real good foam when doing it just below the surface and near the edge of pitcher. I also hold pitcher at a 20 degree angle and very rarely go down to heat the milk until the end when the maximum foam has been created at the surface. I do lower the thing very quickly from time to time to not burn the milk at the surface but this is done maximum 5 quick times.. Good vid best i've seen so far!

I'm having trouble with my Silvia in producing a fine foam...do I need the 3-hole tip on the steam wand? Also I saw someone's video here where they put the milk in the freezer just while preparing the portafilter...that didn't help either. Anybody have some suggestions? I'm getting plenty of steam...

I've tried the freezer to no avail. You get somewhat longer time in frothing, is all. Always start by sucking air into the milk at the surface then lower wand and mix...

that looks like non-fat milk

[StefanBona]

Righty, right, you are. It's only 1,5%, but I find no difference between the two. Not that it makes any distinguisable difference, anyway, and I've tried them all. Also, my skills have improved somewhat since he clip was made...

[markpianoman]

Can you please do a video showing your improved skill? Seems I usually end up with a thick micro-foam swirling in the middle...which actually is too thick to do cappuccino art. I love my Silvia/Rocky combo. Has your latte/cappuccino art improved?

actually, when dipping the steamer in to just heat the milk, it's better to keep it just below the 'sweet frothing spot' so it swirls the foam best.
