For smooth and creamy milk froth
The coffee machine is only one of many vitally important
prerequisites for the preparation of perfectly smooth and creamy
milk froth. The right accessories are just as important. For example,
Miele's Cappuccinatore produces fine-pore milk froth. The use of the
right type of milk is also important in order to produce a perfect latte
macchiato or cappuccino. The sole deciding factor, for example,
with respect to the consistency of milk froth is the protein content of
milk. The more milk protein it contains, the better. The fat content of
milk is only a matter of taste as aromatic substances from the
espresso used to make a cappuccino or latte macchiato are
transported by the fat in the milk. Consequently, the use of full-fat
milk is recommended.
The milk stays cool and fresh for longer when stored in Miele's milk
container. This is also important for the preparation of fine milk froth.
The cooler the milk, the longer it can be frothed using hot steam. As
soon as a temperature of above 60°C is reached, milk froth tends to
collapse. Even when using fresh long-life milk or UHT milk, the froth
can collapse fast.
Finest coffee enjoyment with Miele and illy caffè
To prepare a perfect espresso requires a high-quality coffee
machine as well as an extraordinary type of coffee. This is why Miele
has entered a cooperation with illy caffè, an Italian quality brand
offering an exquisite blend of the finest Arabica beans. To enjoy the
special aroma of this high-quality coffee fully, the settings on Miele
coffee machines must be adjusted accordingly:
Settings for illy caffè on Miele benchtop coffee bean
machines:
- Pre-brew: yes
- Temperature: normal
- Grind: 2 points
- Ground quantity: Normal
Settings for illy caffè on Miele built-in coffee bean
machines:
- Pre-brew: long
- Temperature: high
- Grind: second position from the left
- Ground quantity: third position from the right
- Water quantity: 30-35 ml
This ensures that optimum results are achieved:
an 'Espresso perfetto' with full aroma and a stable crema.
