The steam wand is an attachment which comes with an espresso machine. They usually resemble a metal tube with a black plastic attachment on the end which is used as the valve.
To produce steamed milk -- presumably for a cappuccino -- you simply heat up a quantity of milk in a metal jug, then place the head of the steam wand in the milk and gradually increase the pressure and sustain it until the milk becomes frothy.
Make sure that you don't turn the wand on full immediately when it's in the milk as you'll end up with a kitchen or face covered in milk. Increase the pressure gradually. When placing the milk into the espresso to produce the cappuccino, be sure to keep the jug moving and ensure that there's enough room in the cup for the frothy head.
It might take a few tries to get it, but once you do, it's smooth sailing!
Enjoy your coffee

∙ 13y agoPut the milk in the microwave in a container without any metal, close the door, enter a reasonable amount of time (which will depend on the quantity of milk but generally should not be more than a few minutes), and start it. Be careful not to burn yourself when you remove it.
If you are wanting to boil milk to make it sanitary to drink, a microwave may not be the best way to boil it.

∙ 11y agoHow i do it is by taking a small sauce pan or really any small sized pan, and fill it a little under halfway with ice cold milk, or half and half , or a mixture of either with a small amount of creamer...but any way pour the milk in the pan with no lid, and put turn on stove on low heat. And constantly stir. You have to make sure you dont over heat it or boil it. Use a whisker and whisk it till just under boiling point. Them take off heat...pour it in seperate jar or hand frother. If jar, shake shake shake as hard ad you can for about 1 minute. Then take off lid let it set. For 1 or 2 minutes then swerl the jar to eliminate any big bubbles. After that, while pouring into coffee. Use a spoon to hold back the surface foam or the really thick stuff until the pouring foam reaches about three quarters of the coffe cup then release the spoon and let the thick stuff rest on top of coffee. Than stir a bit and your good to go. Hope my stovetop advoce works for ya!

∙ 10y agoPlace the milk in a container (preferablly glass) with no lid
Place a clean wood utensil (a skewer or chopstick works) into the milk (this step is needed so that the liquid has something to disrupt it, otherwise its possible to cause super heating - a safety hazard where water or liquids are brought to high temperatures in microwaves with no visible bubbling, they can than explode when exposed to a cooler temperature when removed the door is opened)
Microwave on high until there is visible bubbling (usually about 2 to 4 minutes)
Remove from microwave and check the temp with a thermometer, if its not at the temp you need, repeat at 10 to 20 second intervals until it is

How does a panarello work?
A panarello is an accessory for an espresso machine. It is part of the steam wand that is used to "Froth" milk for drinks such as cappuccino or macchiato. It is also used to steam milk for these drinks and for latte. Normally, it takes a degree of skill and practice to properly froth and steam milk without blowing big bubbles in the milk. A panarello attachment helps. It is attached to the end of the steam wand. Steam is passed through the steam wand by the boiler in the espresso machine and comes out the end of the panarello. The panarello entrains, or incorporates, small volumes of air into itself and passes this air through its far end, which is immersed in milk in a frothing pitcher. It still takes practice and skill to obtain perfectly frothed milk of the appropriate temperature (155-160F) but it is easier than without a panarello.
How do you make a macchiato?
A macchiato is espresso (one or two shots) that is "marked" with frothed up foamy milk. The purpose of the foam, for some, is to neutralize the bitter taste of a lower quality espresso. You froth the milk by bringing the tip of the steam wand right to the surface of the milk. The more foam that builds, the more you pull the steam wand away from the milk. When you've reached the desired amount, pull a shot or two of espresso into a cup and then gently guide the foam over top of it with a large spoon. Good luck!

How to Use a Coffee Milk Frother?
Café’s are very popular offering various specialty brewed coffee and tea sections to its customers. Common specialty coffees and teas are usually made with milk in one way or another. Frothing milk for a home version of specialty coffees and teas can be done easily by following these steps. ▪ Step 1: Choose your favorite coffee or tea. Frothed or steamed milk may not taste great when put with certain flavors or selections. Choose a coffee or tea that will be complimented by the frothed or steamed milk flavor. ▪ Step 2: Choose a milk frother or steamer. The best quality steamed or frothed milk for home use will come from a quality home espresso machine with a steam arm and will likely come with a hefty price tag. Cheaper espresso machine that come with a steam wand attachment don’t froth or steam well. You’re better off to avoid using the steam wand on these cheaper machines and use a hand frother instead. Hand frother’s can either be electric, battery powered or manual. Both of these options work well with preheating the milk and a little effort. ▪ Step 3: Pay attention to milk frothing results. A good milk froth you will want to aim for is called microfoam. You can only truly achieve this type of foam by using a high quality espresso machine steam arm heating the milk to the right temperature. With practice using an electric, battery powered or manual frother, you can get your foam to a satisfactory result. Home frother’s will produce foam with a meringue consistency. It isn’t the best because it can leave underneath watery but it tastes good, looks good and will stand up to sugars or spices sprinkled on top. If you end up with large bubbly foam, you’ll want to check your frothing equipment. Try keeping the frother wand under the surface of the milk reducing the chance of larger bubbles. ▪ Step 4: Choose a milk fat percentage. Although higher fat percentage milks will produce creamier results you shouldn’t judge your decision on this. Any milk will froth with effort; choose milk to your preference. ▪ Step 5: Pay attention to the milk temperature. It is important to get the temperature of the milk you are trying to froth just right. The foamed milk when done should be 150 degrees Fahrenheit. If you overheat the milk it will turn out running and taste burnt. ▪ Step 6: Use a stainless steel pitcher. Froth your milk in a cold stainless steel frothing pitcher to allow for more frothing time before the milk overheats. Café’s are not the only place to offer a nice spot to get away and enjoy a hot foamy coffee or tea. Practice frothing milk using decent equipment, a little attention to frothing technique and temperature detail with a good choice in milk will compliment your own home brewed coffee or tea delight.
