Comment choisir
- Auto frothing saves time; manual wands give more control and often better microfoam.
- If you make 1–2 drinks at a time, a single boiler (Bambino, Silvia) is enough.
- Dual boilers are for people who steam and pull shots constantly; usually overkill at home.
- Stainless steel wands are easier to keep clean than plastic-tipped ones.
- Read reviews for “latte art” and “microfoam” if you care about texture.
FAQ
- What’s the difference between auto and manual milk frothing?
Auto systems (e.g. Bambino Plus) set the wand in the pitcher and choose texture/temp. Manual wands require you to position the wand and control steam—more work but more control and often better for latte art.
- Can I make cold foam with these machines?
Some auto systems have a “cold” or “cold foam” option. With manual wands, you can use cold milk and steam briefly, or use a separate handheld frother for cold foam.
- Do I need a dual boiler for milk drinks?
No. Single boilers switch between brew and steam; you wait 30–60 seconds. Dual boilers let you do both at once—handy for multiple drinks, not required for 1–2.
- Which machine is best for latte art?
Manual wands (e.g. Rancilio Silvia) give the most control. With practice, auto machines like the Bambino Plus can still produce decent art.
- How do I clean the milk system?
Purge the wand after each use and wipe it. Backflush and descale per the manual. Some machines have a “milk clean” cycle—run it regularly.
