1. Steps for making milk foam in coffee machine
1.Prepare materials: Whole milk (fat content above 3.5%), clean milk jug, coffee machine steam wand.
2.Steam wand preheating: Open the steam wand to release condensation water, then close it after the steam is stable.
3.whipped milk: Insert the steam wand at an angle 1cm below the milk liquid surface, and turn on the steam until the milk volume expands by 1/3.
4.Thin milk foam: Lower the milk vat so that the steam wand is buried deep in the milk, forming a vortex until the temperature reaches 60-65°C.
5.Cleaning and organizing: Wipe the steam wand immediately to avoid clogging with milk residue.
2. Common problems and solutions
| question | Reason | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Milk foam is too thick | Air intake time is too long | Shorten initial pass time |
| Milk foam layering | Insufficient swirling and mixing | Maintain a stable vortex |
| Temperature too high | Heating time is too long | Use a thermometer to monitor |
