My name is Mike Jones, and I'm a barista at Third Rail Coffee right by Washington Square Park in New York City. I'm going to teach you some basic coffee-making skills.
Alright, I'm going to show you how to steam milk with an espresso machine. The wonderful thing about espresso is that besides just a straight shot and an Americano, there's a multitude of milk drinks you can make. But first you have to know how to steam it right, which is a little bit tricky. So this is the steam wand, and this turns it on. Some machines will have a button that you push, or a level that you pull, this one is a knob that rotates. You want to start out with high quality whole milk that's cold as well as a pitcher that's also cold. So we have that in there. Now there's a few motions that you're going to want to go through when doing this. The first is to submerge the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the milk. Start off with the pitcher straight up, and then angle it, this way when you turn it on you'll create a whirlpool. The first thing you do when you turn it on is let a little bit of air in, but you only want to do this for a few seconds, otherwise you'll end up scorching the milk. Once you've let the air in, you sink the tip of the wand in and just let it whirlpool until it gets to the correct temperature. So now I'm going to steam this and show you how it should look. The first thing you always want to do is purge. There can be buildup of milk or water in the tip and you don't want that going into the milk. Alright, so again, I'm just going to let some air in. It's going to make a slight hissing sound, and then I'm going to make a whirlpool. Then again, always purge afterwards to get that milk out of there. So once you've steamed it, you can give it a couple knocks. You'll see that there's just a few bubbles in there. And then swirl it around to incorporate all that foam you just made. You'll see it's nice and glossy. This is called micro foam. If you see too many spidery bubbles, that means that you've either let too much air in, or not enough. Alright, that's perfect. And that's how you steam milk.

    *We just retired a 10 year old Keurig, similar to the new one **MyBest.Kitchen** the old one had a LCD display, but this new one seems like it is a little better as far as features. Turn it on, load it up, press the button and wait for the cup to fill. Much quieter than the old one. The amount*

    Good, but there are gaps in the instructions. How much milk is in the pitcher? How long (in seconds are you doing each phase). Technical directions need to be explicit in even obvious areas.

    These things are specific to the store that youre working for. Cup sizes can vary, even when its under the same name. The duration of each phase is different also depending on the machine. At my family restaurant, our machine takes at least twice as long to heat up the coffee as this machine. I've never seen a machine as fast as this one before, and I'm ALWAYS having coffee. Though we always would want to most information as possible from to do videos, some things are just to broad to give a super detailed explanation =)

    +Testing123 I started working at a cafe not many months ago and I'm slowly getting the hang of the barista machine, particulary steaming and pouring milk. My boss told me that to know when the milk is done and the right temp, you hold your hand on the side of the pitcher, and once it gets uncomfortably hot, just before it starts hurting, the milk is done steaming.

    +Testing123 I agree. Also how much water is in the machine reservoir to produce the steam? I don't work in a coffee shop, I'm doing this at home (and using a much smaller machine) so even those things that seem obvious are helpful for us newbies.

    just let the purge wand burried inside the milk. you won't heard the sound anymore. you heard it because the tips of the wand still opened to air. so you need to take the purge wand deep into the milk.
