A good milk frother or steam wand gives you access to upgraded lattes, cappuccinos or even hot chocolates at home – but to keep it ship-shape, maintenance is key.
There are short-term and long-term jobs you have to do to keep your steam wand working at optimal levels and keep your coffee machine clean, as part of your weekly coffee machine cleaning schedule. Most importantly, you have to wipe down your coffee machine's milk wand with a damp cloth immediately after it's finished working to avoid that burnt-on catastrophe, as well as perform regular purges of the system too.
