antdad said:I wouldn't want to be accused of being verbose so Mikael is right. My very good office bean to cupper isn't the best foamer and never will be, the double boilers in these types of machines are tiny so to make up for the lack of pressure the plastic wand attachment helps create lots of volume but not the dense micro foam you're after.
You'll get the hang of it but don't expect miracles especially as you're using semi skimmed.
Mikael said:Yeah, I didn't think so either, but your talk about "I wouldn't want to be accused of being verbose so Mikael is right!" got me thinking ...

Boab said:I use skimmed because that's what we have don le frigo, I haven't got round to buying a jug yet but I can get a nice microfoam using a glass. I think changing the wand on my machine helped but I don't know if you will be able to swap things out on your machine. I saw a video of a guy practicing making microfoam with soapy water to save wasting milk. He said when making latte foam he tries to get the nozzle to a place where the milk whirlpools. I have been trying this and it seems to work well. I will try and find the video.

That's one of the reasons it won't foam good micro milk. Take it of and try, prob will work better...
