aha, aha..... I rarely have a problem steaming milk it's easy, stick the steam pipe in the milk, and open the valve/tap. Whalla, the milk is steamed, unless the machine has run out of steam because it has either been switched off, or maybe the element has failed or in the case of a domestic boiler machine, someone switched off the steam function button. Perhaps some people are having trouble "frothing" the milk, or perhaps "texturing" the milk. But I dont see steaming it as a problem really. ....tap tap tap.....So this topic really isnt about steaming milk at all, but about some seemingly silly things that happen on internet sites??? If that is the actual topic here, then here is the answer.....There appear to be real problems with new players continually coming in to repeat the same questions over and over, and being a bit of a conspiracy theorist I cant help wondering if they really are bogus identities having some "fun" keeping respondents wasting time responding. This is why I for one keep away from the repetitive topics, most of which only need some one to say......"do a search buddy its all already there". Of course anyone that reads any coffee forum knows, that all equipment problems are related to lack of descaling....and ofcourse, not having bought some kind of aftermarket steam nozzle or checking / adjusting some kind of OPV or other. Question: Having Trouble Frothing Milk. Internet Forum Politically Korrect Answer: When was the last time you descaled the machine, have you checked the OPV for correct pressure, have you bought an after market tip yet. Forum Politically InKorrect Answer: If machine is not producing correct quantity of steam, have it serviced to rectify an apparent equipment problem; OR check your technique / take a lesson; Or check milk supply / try different supply; and god forbid.....ask your retailer for some advice.... Read it on the internet....must be true :stir
