Mastering Your Milk Frother

To achieve the best results with your handheld milk frother, follow this simple step-by-step guide on effective usage:

1. Select Your Milk:

   • Choose your preferred milk type—dairy or non-dairy alternatives work well.
   • Cold milk froths better than warm, increasing volume and texture.

2. Frothing Technique:

   • Pour the milk into a frothing pitcher or any container with enough space for the milk to expand during frothing.
   • Submerge the whisk fully in the milk. Ensure it remains below the surface to avoid splashing.

3. Activate the Frother:

   • Turn on the frother by pressing the power button located on the handle.
   • Move the frother in an up and down motion to aerate and create foam.

4. Timing Your Froth:

   • Froth the milk for 15-30 seconds or until you reach the desired froth consistency.
   • For cappuccinos, aim for a denser foam; for lattes, a lighter texture may be preferable.

5. Final Adjustments:

   • Tap the container gently to remove any large bubbles.
   • Swirl the milk to blend the froth and milk together before serving.

Safety Tip: Avoid overfilling the milk container to prevent spills.

Caring for Your Frother

Regular maintenance ensures your frother continues to perform at its best. Here's how to keep it in top condition:

1. Cleaning the Whisk:

   • Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

2. Wiping the Handle:
