Tips for delicious milk foam with Nespresso coffee machines

So that you can enjoy delicious milk froth on your coffee, make sure that the lid of the milk frother is properly closed. The milk container must also be inserted correctly. The Nespresso has adjustable foam regulation. You can set the amount of milk from 30 to 200 milliliters.

The factory setting uses 50 milliliters for a cappuccino and 150 milliliters of milk for a latte macchiato. Setting the desired amount is easy, but it can also result in accidentally frothing only 30 milliliters. This is not a defect. Another problem is dirt, which you can remove by cleaning.

If the milk is too warm, this can also have a negative effect on the milk froth. Ideally, use 1.5% milk that has a temperature of five degrees Celsius. If all measures do not help, please contact Nespresso customer service. With safety you will soon be drinking fresh coffee with milk froth again.
