Frothing
ATTENTION
Risk of burns
The steam pipe, nozzle and escaping steam are hot.
There is a risk of burns if touched!
► Do not touch the steam pipe or nozzle during operation.
Only operate the valve wheel to extract steam (Francesca)
or the valve lever (Francesca Leva).
► Avoid skin contact with the escaping steam. Also, watch
out for hot splashes.
1. Pour milk (or another beverage of your choice) into a
sufficiently large container. The vessel should be about twice
as high as the drink filled.
2. Briefly open the steam valve until the water condensed in the
steam pipe has been blown out and only steam comes out:
– Inizio: by turning the valve wheel to the left
– Inizio Leva: by pushing the valve lever up or down
3. Close the valve again.
– Inizio: by turning the valve wheel to the right
– Inizio Leva: by releasing the valve lever
4. Immerse the steam pipe in the drink, open the valve and
prepare the foam in the desired quantity and consistency (see
INFO box on the left).
5. Close the steam valve, clean the steam lance and jet with a
damp cloth and open the steam valve again to blow out any
residue in the steam pipe..
6. Pour the milk foam into a e.g. cup filled with an espresso.
By withdrawing a larger amount of steam, the steam pressure
can briefly drop slightly. The machine starts reheating
immediately, so that the pressure quickly rises to its initial value.
Milk foam is used to make beverages such as cappuccino
or latte macchiato.
When the frothing starts, hold the steam nozzle close to
the surface of the drink to blow some air. Then dip the
nozzle all the way into the drink until it has a creamy
consistency. Do not try to create as much foam as
possible and do not let the drink get too hot. Otherwise
taste and consistency lose quality. Large air bubbles in the
foam are a sign that too much air has been used.
