I recently purchased the La Pavoni Napolitana PA-1200. After watching countless hours of people demonstrating the proper way to steam milk, I have discovered that my machine is different in one way...
Each video shows the steam wand/arm sticking out of the machine at an angle. Mine does not. You can swivel the arm, but the steam arm is straight, no angle at all. The videos Ive watched have steam arms that angle down, making it easy for the milk to swirl in the container. Mine points straight down, and forces the steam downward through one hole. No swirling, no spiraling. Does anyone have a machine like this one? And if so, what can you do to get the milk to swirl?
The steam arm seems a bit on the short side, so Im wondering if this manufacturer intended for the milk to be steamed in a cup, instead of a stainless steel container.
Thanks
James
