I have the Delonghi Dedica EC680M, recently swapped the stock steam wand for the Rancilio wand. I have pretty much 0 experience steaming milk, and this is the first time I’ve been able to have milk lay on top without being a formless blob! Just super excited and wanted to share lol

    I steam milk for latte’s quite a bit. Tip carafe so wand tip is at the side just under the surface of the milk, with the stem against the spout. Engage steam just enough to you hear a tearing sound. Gradually lower the carafe to maintain the tearing sound for 17 seconds,(the sound changes) then immerse the tip until the carafe is getting too hot to touch. Then a tap on the counter, and a couple swirls to break up bigger bubbles.

        Don’t feel bad if you can’t get it to work. I’ve been making lattes at home for around 8 years and I’ve never managed to get the foam consistent.

      I would also like to add that the milk and foam separate very quickly. With my machine it starts even before the milk is fully ready, so i like to pour the steamed milk into another carafe and back then the taps to ensure it is properly mixed for best results.
