6. Operation (Milk Frothing)
The multi-hole design of this steam wand tip is intended to provide a more even steam distribution for milk frothing. Achieving fine milk foam requires practice and attention to technique, milk concentration, and steam temperature.
- പാൽ തയ്യാറാക്കുക: Pour cold milk into a frothing pitcher. Fill to just below the spout.
- സ്റ്റീം വാൻഡ് ശുദ്ധീകരിക്കുക: Briefly open the steam valve to purge any condensed water from the wand. Close the valve.
- സ്ഥാന വടി: Insert the steam wand tip into the milk, just below the surface, at an angle. The tip should be submerged about 1 cm.
- ആവിയിൽ വേവിക്കാൻ തുടങ്ങുക: Open the steam valve fully. Listen for a gentle 'tearing paper' sound, indicating you are incorporating air. Maintain this position for a few seconds to create microfoam.
- Submerge and Heat: Once enough air is incorporated (milk volume increases slightly), lower the pitcher slightly to fully submerge the tip. This heats the milk and integrates the foam. Keep the milk circulating in a vortex.
- താപനില നിരീക്ഷിക്കുക: Continue heating until the pitcher is too hot to comfortably touch (approximately 140-150°F or 60-65°C).
- പൂർത്തിയാക്കുക: Close the steam valve, then immediately remove the pitcher. Wipe the steam wand clean with a damp തുണി.

7. പരിപാലനവും ശുചീകരണവും
Regular cleaning is crucial for hygiene and to prevent blockages in the steam wand tip.
- ഓരോ ഉപയോഗത്തിനും ശേഷം: Immediately after frothing, wipe the steam wand and tip with a clean, damp cloth to remove any milk residue. Briefly purge the steam wand again to clear any milk from the internal holes.
- പ്രതിദിന ശുചീകരണം: If milk dries on the tip, unscrew it from the wand and soak it in warm, soapy water. Use a small brush or needle to clear any blocked holes. Rinse thoroughly.
- ആഴത്തിലുള്ള ശുചീകരണം (ആഴ്ചയിലോ/ആഴ്ചയിലോ): For stubborn blockages, soak the tip in a solution of espresso machine cleaner or white vinegar and water. Follow the cleaner's instructions for dilution and soaking time. Rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
8. പ്രശ്നപരിഹാരം
If you encounter issues with your steam wand tip, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| പ്രശ്നം | പരിഹാരം |
|---|---|
| Weak or inconsistent steam flow | Check for blockages in the tip holes. Perform a deep clean. Ensure the tip is securely attached. Verify your espresso machine's steam pressure is adequate. |
| Poor milk foam quality (too bubbly or flat) | Review operation steps, focusing on wand positioning and air incorporation. Ensure milk is fresh and cold. Practice technique. |
| Tip does not fit the steam wand | Confirm your espresso machine is a Breville 8 Series model. Check the threading on both the wand and the tip for damage. |
