This an answer I gave recently about depth of wand in the milk
Regarding the milk foam
Always start with cold milk and the right size jug
The position of the wand in the milk jug is important for developing volume and texture
For best volume e.g. Cappuccino, it should sit just below the surface (up to the bulbous tip joining the steam pipe)
For best texture e.g. latte art, it is better to be slightly deeper (up to the bulbous tip join + 10mm up the steam pipe)
It is important to position the steam wand differently for different coffee drinks.

I thought 45seconds was long already.. hehehe. If you prepared your steam properly, all this should be done in less than 30 seconds.. I did another cup today and was all done in 15-20 seconds..
