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*

purge without covering the wand. Wipe then purge. tip from an espresso machine mechanic. When covering while purging not all the milk comes out and gets trapped inside.

Hey I just got an espresso so machine and was wondering if you can share some of the recipes for drinks :)
I've learned it at the Grind's Coffee Shop to show them how to steam the milk for every latte that you've and they enjoyed the most!
I’m watch this guy for learning , and now I can make latte art :D heart
Thank you for the video. It was helpful.
Thanks dude! Enjoyable presentation
This guy is just the cutest! Thank you for the instructional! :)
cheers really informative,
Do you have a video on foaming the milk for lattes and cappuccinos?
Thanks I will try this
Thanks Mike, by the way what brand of glasses do you have?
ok thank you for the video,was helpful but i have a question.the steamer on your machine is very powerful comparing to the one i have at home(brevile barista),so how long or to what temperature do i have to steam it?
that machine is fast as fuck.
its so good, but i can study this video hehe. thankyou
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.
@BabePandahh
9 жыл бұрын
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.
@wanderingtmp
8 жыл бұрын
+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.

I'm a volunteer barista who is doing the milk what the guy meant was how much milk he was putting in the hug and he is right the bottom of the spout should it be poured upto otherwise you could spill your milk if too much or you will probably have tainted coffee if it goes under so you are meant to pour the mile to the inside bottom on the handle layout
you're instruction is well thought out. perhaps it would be a bit better if we could see the milk in progress..... thanks
I like this video alotte!

Hi Mike jones, how can I let some ari in ? I don't really understand that. ?
hai sir i want to know about the steam presser how much in the machine
how do you do it with almond milk? does it work the same?
Thanks, I'm doing a college course on this.
How much pressure does the steam comes out of the nozzle?
There is a max temperature, though I find that 150 is the absolute maximum. But personally, I like to stop after the steam seems to feel thick coming out of the pitcher.
I have a silvia and when I try to steam skimmed milk the milk whirlpools and comes and out and everything's a mess. What am I doing wrong. The Tetra pack full fat milk does work okay though
should be full power for steam knob or half power only ?
on this kind of espresso machine, how do you know what is the current temperature of the steaming milk?
whooo? mike jones
great man.. you get it :)
Good
He steamed it for 14 seconds not 30 I noticed and you also steam with the wand like he said straight down when it's on first then angle the wand to create the foam. With ours we do this then raise the wand gradually.
when i steam the milk with my home espresso machine, there is only bubbles coming out the milk double size but its not thick as the video, i want it to be thick so how can i do that, is there any trick ?
this is so hard for me i keep hearing the sound and by the time i place it correctly milk boils and goes everywhere
@TheSevenS1207

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.

Do you pull the lever/turn the knob before the steam wand is in the milk? You want the steam wand to be below the surface, before you begin steaming it
It helps of you can get ahold of an espresso machine that actually has a steaming wand long enough to be useful! I have yet to find one under $500.00 that is long enough to be useful for anything but making lather to shave with.
Nice

you are 'ripping' it too much, that paper tearing sound.. Keep it just below the top angling it .
So the tip of my machine's wand is one of those old-fashioned teflon cylinders with two tiny circles opposite each other, halfway. Should I employ the exact same method we learn in this video? i.e. Start by placing the tip of the wand on the surface of the milk and gradually go deeper? One mechanic said that with those old-fashioned wand tips, we should do the exact opposite. All suggestions welcome. Thanks!

TheTravelingangel Actually I beg to differ on that impression. I also work in aussieland and we are always taught to steam the milk to 70 degrees Celsius max and all of the customers coming to the store like their coffee at that temp. It's really hard to work with over heated milk and it does not smell good either.

Put air into it until it gets to 40 degrees then bring up the pitcher and create the vortex and stop at 60 degrees bang the pitcher 3/4 times on the work top and swirl it and pour from the side of your pitcher not the nozzle of it you can get thermometers to stick on the side of the pitcher to measure the temperature
Its so simple steam milk the same way for all coffes and the pouring is the main thing
I don't know why this is the first video that comes up, they are not showing the actual steaming process. The guy is knowledgeable but still, it would be god to see what is happening
Coffee and tea please
for some reason my milk only gets hot, it doesn't foam... I changed to whole milk and same result
