Step 1

Place the milk in a saucepan and heat it to scalding or 150 degrees Fahrenheit (measure using a food thermometer if possible). This is hot to the touch, but not simmering.

Step 2

Place the milk in a tall container. Hold the container at an angle and turn on the frother. Move the frother up and down until foamy bubbles form*, about 20 seconds or so. Tap the container on the counter to break down any large bubbles.

Step 3

Add the scalding milk to the French press and pump using quick, short plunges until foamy bubbles form*, about 30 seconds**. Pour into a pitcher and tap it on the counter to break down large bubbles. You’ll get best results with 1 cup of milk for two drinks.

Step 4

Add the scalding milk to a bowl and use a whisk to vigorously whisk it until foamy bubbles form*. Pour into a pitcher and tap it on the counter to break down large bubbles.
