  • Hahaha! 3.06-3.14 

  • The steam wand should be right down at the surface...so that it hisses a little as it lets air incorporate into the milk until 100 degrees....then sink the wand deep into the milk until about 145 degrees.

see all

  • the steam wand is way to deep it should be like 1/3 of it's top not immerge it like you did!!!!it's way to faster and the milk start to heat way too faster ,and you want to steam it slowly and perfect!!!however you're americans...not italians!!!!

  • latte art??

  • @Cetramarius First take off any steam aiding devices. Open the steam onto the drip tray to Let it run a few seconds or so to get it up to a good power. Open the steam into the milk all the way and keep it submerged. VERY gently lower the pitcher till u hear that suction noise .. keep it JUST under the surface. Tilt the jug or wand so it almost runs along the side of the pitcher to get the milk spinning. Towards the end raise the milk up and let the milk spin to temperature.

  • cetramarius in caz ca ai o masina de espresso cu un unic grup trebuie sa sti ca presiunea perfecta pt a face un cappucino este de 9 bar si temperatura apei din boiler intern trebuie sa fie aproape 85-90 de grade Celsius

  • You shot is bad now you have to make another one now.

  • I have a home-espresso machine. It's by Democa, and has 20 bars of pressure. I just can't get this steaming thing right.

    The milk just bubbles and bubbles.... into HUGE bubbles, but no microfoam. And eventually, all the foam just vanishes. And yes, I use WHOLE milk. I just don't think I hold it correctly or something. Like, how far down in the milk do you put the steamer?

  • You are beautiful. =)

    Did you make the naked PF yourself?
