Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't my milk frother working?

Usually milk protein buildup or air in the system. Clean the frother thoroughly and purge air from lines.

How do I fix no froth?

Start by cleaning the frothing wand with warm water. Check for blockages and ensure proper milk temperature (cold milk froths better).

Can I froth non-dairy milk?

Yes, but results vary. Oat and almond milk work well. Avoid low-fat dairy milk as it produces weaker froth.

Why does my steam wand hiss but no froth?

The steam tip may be clogged. Soak in warm water and clear holes with a thin needle.

Is my frother broken if no froth forms?

Not necessarily. Technique matters: keep the wand just below the surface and listen for a gentle tearing sound.
