  1. After brewing your espresso, ensure there is still water in the reservoir for steaming.
  2. Fill a small, heat-resistant pitcher or mug with cold milk (dairy or plant-based). Do not fill more than halfway, as milk expands when frothed.
  3. Position the frothing arm into the milk, ensuring the tip is just below the surface.
  4. Turn the control knob to the 'Steam' position. The frothing arm will begin to release steam.
  5. Move the pitcher up and down gently, keeping the frothing arm tip just below the surface, to create froth.
  6. Once the milk has reached your desired temperature and froth consistency, turn the control knob to the 'Off' position.
