How do you make a cappuccino with a milk tube?

On this page, you can read how to easily make a cappuccino with a milk tube in 3 steps. We'll go through these steps:

• Step 1. Put the tube in the milk
• Step 2. Froth the milk
• Step 3. Clean the milk system

Put the milk tube in a carton of milk, milk pitcher or milk reservoir. With some espresso machines with a milk tube, you get a milk reservoir included, or you have to buy it separately. Make sure you put the milk back in the fridge in a closed container. For creamy and sturdy milk foam, use long-life whole milk. In the article on this page, we'll explain which melk is best to use for a cappuccino.

For frothing the milk, you just have to press the button on the coffee machine. Make sure to place your cup underneath the outlet first. With many machines, the amount of milk foam has been preprogrammed for a cappuccino. But some fully automatic coffee machines allow you to adjust the amount of milk to your own liking. The machine will make your cappuccino automatically.

It's important to regularly clean the milk system. This way, you make sure no spoiled milk residue stays behind in the tube, so it keeps doing its job correctly. Use the cleaning program to rinse the milk system. You need a special milk system cleaner for that. Check which cleaner you need exactly. That differs per espresso machine type and brand.
