We've listed a couple of useful tips, so you can make the the mosetdelicious cappuccino's with your Nespresso Sage Creatista.

• Tip 1. Use cooled whole milk.
• Tip 2. Adjust the thickness and temperature of the milk foam.
• Tip 3. Place the stainless steel pitcher on the temperature sensor.
• Tip 4. Clean the steam wand regularly.

Whole milk usually gives more flavor to the foam than skimmed milk. The milk froths better when it's chilled. Not satisfied with the amount of foam? Try long-life milk or special cappuccino milk from the supermarket. These contain more proteins than fresh milk, which creates more foam. Prefer plant-based milk? Read this article to find out which type is best for you.

You can easily adjust the milk temperature and thickness of the milk foam via the menu of the coffee machine. You can choose from a thin to an extra thick layer of foam. The best temperature for frothed milk is 60 to 70°C. So we don't recommend temperatures over 70°C. This prevents the milk from becoming too hot and the foam layer from becoming thinner.

Pour the milk into the included stainless steel jug. The pitcher is made of steel, because this retains heat well. Make sure to check whether the pitcher and sensor are clean. The sensor is the round, steel ball under the steam wand. The stainless steel pitcher touches the temperature sensor while frothing. This allows the machine to regulate the temperature of the milk foam. This way, you can be sure that the milk isn't too hot or too cold.

After frothing the milk, the steam wand cleans itself automatically. Then, wipe the exterior of the wand with a tea towel. To prevent blockages, open the menu weekly and select the automatic cleaning program for the milk system. After 10 minutes, the steam wand is completely clean on the inside.
