After the shot is pulled, how long does it take for the steamer to steam the milk?
1066481
I've started steaming the milk before I pull the shot, so it's all ready when the coffee is ready. Either way, the steam is ready right after you pull the shot and the water is ready for the shot right when you're done pulling steaming and clean the wand. Another tip I've found is that having the machine on long enough to heat up the cup warmer on the top and the group head helps it to be fully up to temperature and get consistent results.

Not long at all. I have never timed it but I do not recall ever having had to wait more than a few seconds for the machine to be ready to start steaming. It takes a few more seconds to build pressure once engaged I would estimate 5 to 10 seconds max.

This mornings first shot steam took about two minutes, the second has a bit faster, 1 minute 40 seconds from start of steam till pouring in the cup. Also depends on how cold your milk is.

Before pulling a shot on the BEXL Infuser™, or any Breville® espresso machine, it is always recommended that a shot with no coffee grounds be pulled and that the steam wand be turned on for approximately 20 to 30 seconds. This allows the brew head and steam wand to not only head up themselves but to also purge out any unheated water, ensuring that what comes out when you need it is as hot as it should be. That being said, once steaming has begun it's entirely a matter of taste. Generally it should only take between 25 and 45 seconds to have a frothing jug full of either thick fluffy foam or rich silky foam.

Like others said...make the espresso first. When starting the machine it should take no more than 1 minute before its ready to make espresso. If you area making the espresso first and its taking as long as you said, then something is wrong. Now if you are steaming your milk first, it will take a long time to cool down before you can make the espresso. In that case, you want to turn the machine off and let the steam out. Then turn back on and it should be ready to go in short order.

You need to select one of the buttons (15 min, 30 min, etc). It will not look like much when it is steaming, but it is working.

It takes about 10 to 15 minutes maybe 20 depending on the temperature you want to heat up then let the sweat begin. I hope that helps. Thanks

Probably about 4-6 hours. Also, I use a shameful amount of creamer so that certainly impacts how hot the coffee is after I prepare it. I really am very happy with the performance of the carafe.

I use the steamer until all steam is used. I use the cup provided to fill it up to the line specified. I use 2 cups of water. I use very hot water from the tap so it does not take that long to heat up--I think 5 minutes. I do all my cleaning with the control on high--so it might be less than 5 minutes for you. I clean my 1-bedroom apartment; the whole kitchen (cupboards, walls, stove etc.) It takes about an hour. It tells you in the appliance book how long you should wait to refill the steamer I don't think it takes too long. I've never had to do it. The steamer is a fabulous addition to my vacuum and other appliances I own. Hope this helps. I use the steamer until all steam is used. I use the cup provided to fill it up to the line specified.

This answer depends on how much water you've put in the tank and how high your steam setting is. If you fill the tank to the water line, and turn the steam knob (on/off) to maximum (all the way to the right) you should get about 6-7 hours of steam. The more you lower the steam knob, the more time you will have. Hope that helps!

If I'm making a latte or cup of coffee I fill it about halfway or just over then either add steamed milk or half n half. If you want accurate shots then I suggest using the shot glasses aka demitasse cups to pull your shots into. It's really just preference and testing it out till you find wah works for you.

It takes a few minutes say 3, to heat up. There is a button you push when you want the steam. It can be continuous or only for a few seconds depending on how long you hold the button for.

Instructions are provided on the bottle, and they do vary according to model. Broadly speaking: you would allow it to cool, drain any remaining water from the steamer, pour in a full bottle of cleaner letting it soak for 2-3 hours, then flush thoroughly with water.

I run vinegar and water through the coffee side about 3 times. Then run through the steam wand for maybe 3 -4 minutes. After all is done of course run clean water to get the vinegar out of the system.

The unit has an adjustable 60 Minute steamer timer. Dogs & buns take about 15 mins to be ready. After that the hot water in the bottom of unit will keep everything warm for a period, until water cools. If you need longer just recycle the steamer again for as long as you want. That reheats the water. Works great!

Often, I use the low pressure for steaming vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, green beans etc. Most take 2- 3 minutes then a quick release.

About 30 minutes. And then it suggests you let the rice sit for about 10 more minutes to let the steam escape. You can also use the vegetable steamer while cooking the rice. You just wait till the rice is nearly done and put the veggies in about 10 minutes before the rice is done. I make a mixture of white and brown rice together. Then pour all the rice and the veggies into a skillet and add whatever sauce or broth or egg mixture. I love this cooker.

Your steam wand can froth milk or heat it, depending on how deep you place the head. If just touching the surface of the milk it will mix steam with air to make bubbles (froth) If placed below the milk surface, all the steam is heating the milk. That is why coffee shops use thermometers when frothing. They are gauging how long to let steam heat it after they froth.
