Milk froth not hot or too runny

The milk froth is not hot enough or is too runny.

The milk temperature is too high. Good milk froth can only be achieved with cold milk (< 10 °C).

Check the temperature of the milk in the milk container.

Not all types of milk are suitable for milk froth. The consistency of the milk froth will vary greatly depending on the type of milk used.

Use a different type of milk. Using cold cow’s milk (< 10 °C) with a protein content of at least 3 % will produce the perfect milk froth.

The milk pipework is blocked.

Clean the central spout and milk pipework with the brush.

CVA 6xxx (grinder): the elbow connector in the milk pipework has not been replaced yet. The milk pipework is soiled.

An elbow connector for the milk pipework is included in the scope of delivery of the coffee machine as a spare part.

Replace the blocked elbow connector with the elbow connector supplied. Proceed as follows:

  • Open the coffee machine door.

  • Opening service flap | Back of appliance door | Built-in coffee machine
  • Open the service flap on the back of the appliance door.

  • Service flap open | Back of appliance door | Built-in coffee machine
  • First remove the air intake hose (1) from the opening (3). Then pull off the elbow connector (2).

  • Pull both hoses off the elbow connector.

  • Clean the air intake hose (1) under running water using the cleaning brush supplied. Blowing through the hose can also loosen any blockages.

  • Insert the brush into the milk pipework (4). Move the cleaning brush forwards and backwards as far as possible until all milk residue has been removed.

  • Now take the new elbow connector. (You can dispose of the used elbow connector in your household waste.)

  • Inserting elbow connector | Milk pipework | Built-in coffee machine
  • Push the hoses onto the elbow connector and reinsert it. Make sure that the bar on the elbow connector is pointing downwards. The tubes must fit firmly on the elbow connector and form a tight seal.

  • Insert the air intake hose back into the opening (3).

  • Refit the service flap.

  • Close the appliance door.
