My Philips Baristina milk frother doesn't froth properly

Your Philips Baristina milk frother always leaves a little milk behind after running, which can reduce the quality of your next froth. If this is not the case, check the other possible causes and solutions below.

The wire whisk is not attached

Make sure that the wire whisk is attached to the stem (see illustration below), as milk foam cannot be produced without it.

More milk is needed

Make sure you fill the milk carafe above the minimum level indicated on the inside to obtain quality milk foam.

Clean the milk frother

Clean your milk frother regularly to obtain optimum results. Bear in mind the following instructions for cleaning your milk frother:
 

1. Separate the metal whisk, stem and lid.
    

2. Rinse the milk jug under hot tap water.
    

3. Rinse the metal whisk, stem and lid in hot tap water or put all the parts in the dishwasher.
    

4. If necessary, wipe the base with a damp cloth.

Refer to the illustration below for additional cleaning information.

Type of milk

The quantity and quality of the foam may vary depending on the type of milk used. For best results, we suggest you use one of the following types of milk:
 

1. Semi-skimmed cow's milk
    

2. Whole cow's milk
    

3. Lactose-free milk
    

4. Plant milk

Note that if you choose to use plant milk, it's important to make sure that the milk you select is specially formulated to produce milk foam in your cappuccinos, lattes and other milk drinks.

The milk frother needs to cool down

The on/off button on the Philips Baristina milk frother flashes to indicate that it needs to cool down before you can use it again. Allow it to cool for a few minutes. If you want to speed up the cooling process, you can rinse the inside of the milk jug with cold water.
 

If the on/off button continues to flash or the problem persists, contact us for help.
