    Re: Still struggling with VBM Levetta

    I use coles lite milk and while i am no expert at it, i get good microfoam when i concentrate on what i am doing.
    My issue is with consistancy of method and nothing else.
    Try to note down what works when regardless of milk brand.

      Also take note that each milk brand might not be always consistent.

      and also take note of where you buy your milk. Some stores have better delivery procedures and storage facilities.

      7-eleven milk is a no no. Well from my past experience milk was very watery and had no texture.

        I have a different machine but have found that I get a better result with smaller amounts of milk (enough for 1 cup). I also haved started using a milk thermometer so its one less thing to worry about - I know that at least Ill get the temp right so I can concentrate on my technique.

          I have a 4 hole tip on my machine and had a bit of trouble at first
          This method will work just as well on your 2 hole tip

          What works for me is to give it full steam from the get go

          Position the wand in the centre of milk at 90 deg steam holes just under milk
          Still holding jug at 90 deg move it to one side slowly on the first sign of foam until side of jug touches steam wand
          And thats it (well it works for me) try it and see

          What Ali is recommending with small jugs and amount of milk is spot on

            I took Gavin1s advice a while back and blocked one holes of a two hole tip.
            Made the job very easy for one drinkl. If I am doing milk for 2 it takes a little longer
