How do i make the milk frother work - Impressa Jura Capresso Coffee Makers & Espresso Machines

SOURCE: milk not frothing

I purchased a unit second hand for my wife's birthday today. It's only 4 months old, got it home, tested it, same problem... No froth!

I've read all the posts here and all were very helpful troubleshooting guides however they did not solve the issue.

Understanding how the frothing mechanism functions is half the battle in figuring out the solution. It's a simple vacuum type system. No doubt you've read about checking the orings. This is definately the first thing to check however if this is not the reason then consider the following.

The larger of the white tubes that has the red and black oring inserts deep into its port on the tap. Why? It pushes steam past the milk pipe directly into the chrome frothing tube which causes a vacuum essentially drawing milk up it's hose creating the froth. What you can't see without further investigation is that on the underside of the tube centered between the red and black orings is a small hole. This hole is responsible for drawing the milk upwards. If this is blocked, and it probably is then no milk and no froth. Use a really small screwdriver to carefully clean the white tube both from the front and the little hole underneath.

So in conclusion. Any air leak between the red and black orings will prevent the vacuum required to draw milk up the tube and alternatively any blockage of the milk channel will also obviously prevent the flow into the frothing mechanism. Hope this helps.

they make one that has the option of frothing milk hot or cold. Blue light is cold. Red light is hot. The red light will always heat the milk. To get to the blue light, you need to hit the button twice.( First will go to red)

Hi rspence423,

You aren't by any chance writing from Australia?

Parts are pretty hard to come by online except there.

You will have to contact DeLonghi customer care to order the part. Here is their contact page: >>>> http://www.delonghiusa.com/index.php?texts&pid=3
DeLonghi is structurally identical to Krups. If you can't get anything from DeLonghi, you could try doing a google search for Krups parts and contact a customer service person at one of their parts suppliers.
Good luck.

Hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate a 4 thumbs up. Thanks,

Handie Andie
