First, you put the steam nozzle in an empty cup and turn the steamer on for couple of seconds to get the water out of the nozzle, then close the steamer.

When you froth milk, make sure that the nozzle is about 1/2" deep from the surface of the milk. If you put it deeper than that, the milk will boil.

Adjust the nozzle as milk foam is created. The purpose of frothing milk is to make tiny microscopic air bubble. If the nozzle is very close to the surface, big bubble will be created. If the nozzle is so deep in the milk, the milk will boil before it get a chance to froth. Keep the nozzle 1/2" deep and adjust as needed.

Lots of work. You'll need to have an extra espresso just to make up for the energy you waste making it.

^ I do,,,

It's a combo machine.

But I prefer a drip maker that sits on the stove that was my Grand Mother's.It makes the BEST coffee,but my wife won't use it..

When I had a machine like that, I would use it as follows:

1) Put milk in a mug or cup.

2) Position the cup so that the steam tube almost touches the bottom of the inside.

3) Turn on the steam.

4) Let the steam blow through the milk....heating it and adding air bubbles to froth it. You can move the cup around a bit...back and forth...up and down.

5) When the milk is nicely frothed, turn off the steam and remove the cup.

Before storage, remove the tip of the tube and clean it out....scalded milk will plug it up.

Personally......I just heat milk JUST to a boil on the stove and forget the frothing. But that's me.

Perhaps putting the tube in your ass would help.

Its worth a try.
