The boiler needs to be cleaned, it is contaminated with milk. Check the water from the tea spicket, if it smells funny or it is discolored then the boiler is contaminated, if not then the problem is at the steam wand and steam valve.

I have an Astoria Divina SAE-1 Espresso Machine and the steam is too hot to properly steam milk... The milk has too many bubbles as well.. How do i adjust it?

It is supposed to be like that. You are supposed to steam the milk in a jug with a thermometer in it. The milk is supposed to mix and the bubbles for a tight layer on top.

The actual temperature should be between 120 °F / 49 °C and 140 °F / 60 °C. Milk that is steamed at a lower, steady temperature will have a richer, sweeter flavor profile. If you overheat the milk, it will taste burned, because you've essentially denatured the proteins, preventing foaming and scalding the milk.

The milk has a terrible odor and taste when frothing. What should I do?

Please flush the machine with Baking soda solution. Dissolve one heaped table spoonful Baking soda in water. Fill water tank. Flush the solution by dispensing hot water and steam alternatingly until the solution is finished.

A burnt smell is filtrating my milk when I steam it..and it's discolouring the milk.

Yikes! that doesn't sound good. Please supply more details as to your steaming technique. In the mean time, I will just say that you should not steam above 150 degrees F or so lest you burn the milk. If you don't have a thermometer, but are using a metal steaming pitcher, keep your hand on the side of the pitcher as you steam. It it gets too hot to touch, you've gone too far. Good luck steaming! And let us know if you are having a different, more specific problem.

Coffee tastes burnt/No steam for froth

I don't know about the burning business but I had the same problem with the steam wand. the first thing I did to solve this problem was to take small object like a needle or safety pen and insert it into the base of the steam wand. (I have feeling that most problems related to the steaming wand are due to deposits clogging the wand itself.) After I cleared out as best I could I used vinegar and water to help remove any calcium deposits. Sure enough, after inserting the needle into the wand steam began to flow again.
