Then hold the jug under the steam nozzle and dip it just below the surface of the milk. Open the valve and create fine foam bubbles by gently moving up and down until the milk has reached 65 to 75 C. The milk must not boil, otherwise the foam will collapse. Pour the Espresso first, then the milk and the the frothed milk.
