Hi, im just making a latte with my recently purchased Breville Ikon espresso machine, BES400XL. Here i am using the pressurized filter basket and the crap tamper that came with it. I used a mini burr grinder for the coffee beans. One side of the portafilter was stuck :( but the other cup was good :D The milk was steamed with the froth enhancer taken off. Any questions ask in comment box ^^

I can’t get the milk to thicken, what am I doing wrong? What settings should I have it set at? Start with medium and then turn the knob to max for the steamer? What to do?!?!?!? Tia!

Surface area is all but irrelevant when you’re talking about heat retention in liquids; it’s the total mass/volume that matters. Steam two pitchers of milk, one 12oz pitcher and one 20-32oz pitcher, and you will see that the smaller volume becomes cold sooner.

It will not get cold if you put it on the cup warming tray. Also the espresso has a small surface area so will lose heat slower then the milk which has larger surface area. btw, i am a barista so i do have experience in that area.

@anudude then your espresso will get cold, how does that make sense.

I have this machine…I have finally reached my limit with its bullshiat

nice video man. However, you should brew the espresso first as the grind can go stale very quickly.
