the flat end of the frother whisk over the rod at the bottom of the
frothing pitcher and push down until it is secure.
Do not operate the Frother Station without a frothing whisk installed into
the pitcher, as this can cause uneven heating and burning.
2. Pour fresh, cold milk of choice into the frothing pitcher between
the MIN and MAX frothing indicator lines. See “Milk Measurements”
on page 12.
Do not overfill the pitcher. Overfilling may cause the milk frother to overflow
when using a foam setting.

5. Press Start button to begin frothing with default or previously
used settings, or

8. When the milk has reached the correct temperature and thickness
the frother will stop, return to Ready mode and “beep” one time.
9. Carefully remove the frothing pitcher from the frother base using
the stay-cool frother handle. Serve the foam with a spoon or pour
directly from the spout.
10. Enjoy your frothy beverage!

Frothing Tips
Tip Details
Cold milk is best • Using the coldest, freshest milk will almost always
produce the best foam.
• When frothing, millions of tiny air bubbles are
introduced into the liquid. The longer it takes to heat
up, the more air can be infused into the liquid. The
end result is silky rich foam and less chance
of scalding.
Not all dairy-free
milks produce foam
• Milk with lots of fat will form a thick, creamy foam.
• Milk with less fat and more protein will create a light,
airy foam.
• Some plant-based milks are too watery to create the
best results. See “Types of Milk” on the following page.
Infuse your foam
with flavor
• Before frothing, add aromatic spices to the pitcher,
like cinnamon, cardamom or nutmeg, or other
fragrant items like lavender.
Let the frother rest
• When frothing up large batches of foam, we suggest
letting your frother rest for 3–4 minutes after every
2 frothing cycles to ensure it continues to perform at
its best.
Creating latte art
• As soon as the frother finishes whipping up your
warm foam, lift the pitcher off the base (lid on) and
gently swirl the pitcher. This helps give your latte
foam a glossiness ideal for latte art. Experiment with
different milks for the best results.

Types of Milk
As you begin using your Instant Frother Station you will discover
that different milk types and brands produce different types of
foam. Depending on your personal taste and desired results, you can
experiment with dairy, nut and plant-based milks. Some dairy free milk
brands offer barista specific formulas, these can produce better foam
compared to the standard formula.
Milk Type Froth Description Notes
Dairy Milk - Whole
Milk
The ideal overall frothing milk.
Creates a rich, creamy foam
with tiny micro bubbles.
May take a bit longer
to froth. Best if served
immediately as it can
deflate quickly. Good for
latte art.
Dairy Milk -
Skimmed Milk
Froths up quickly creating light,
airy foam that holds together a
long time, with larger bubbles.
Ideal for drinks with
a lower milk-to-coffee
ratio. Good for latte art.
Dairy Milk - Semi-
skimmed
Performs very similarly to whole
milk, creating rich, stable foam.
Froths up quickly.
A great, lower-fat
substitute to whole milk
froth. Good for latte art.
Oat Milk One of the best dairy-free
options. Creates a very rich,
sweet and creamy foam.
Try different brands to
find the best results.
May work for latte art.
Soy Milk A great dairy-free option.
Froths easily with creamy foam
comparable to dairy.
Froth does not pour
easily. Not ideal for latte
art. May curdle when
added to hot coffee.
Good for cold coffee.
Almond Milk Contains more fat than most
plant-based milks and froths up
well. A dense, but light foam.
Froths best at room
temperature.
Coconut Milk Produces very mixed results.
Will only produce cold foam,
without heat. Some brands froth
well, and others are too watery
to perform.
Choose carton milk over
canned for best results.
Cold foam only but a
great milk for heated
milk drinks.
Rice/Cashew/
Macadamia/
Hemp
Often too watery to produce
good foam or foam that lasts.
Try one of our suggested milks
above or experiment with
different brands to find one that
works best.
Good dairy-free options
for tasty cold or heated
milk beverages without
foam.
