coffee system
The milk frother on your Wolf coffee system isn't creating the rich, creamy foam needed for cappuccinos and lattes.
Quick Fixes to Try First
- 1Run the automatic frother rinse cycle after every use
- 2Remove and soak the frother assembly in warm water with food-safe descaler
- 3Use cold, fresh whole milk for best frothing results
- 4Ensure the milk container is properly connected
Most Common Causes
Clogged Frother Assembly
DIY Possible
Dried milk proteins have built up inside the frother, restricting steam and air flow.
Wrong Milk Type
DIY Possible
Non-dairy or ultra-pasteurized milks froth differently than whole milk.
Other Possible Causes
Steam Pressure Low
Insufficient steam pressure from scale buildup in the steam boiler.
Worn Frother Components
Internal frother parts that create aeration have worn down.
When to Call a Professional
Contact our technicians if any of these apply:
- Cleaning doesn't restore frothing performance
- No steam comes from the frother at all
- Unusual sounds during the frothing cycle
