How to Steam Milk on the Delonghi Dedica Arte EC885

In this video, we look at how to steam silky, creamy milk on the Delonghi Dedica Arte EC885. While the steam wand is a nice upgrade over previous models, steam wand placement is key - both vertically (tip depth), and horizontally (tip proximity to the side wall). This machine does not have a ton of steam power at first, so the tip has to be just AT the milk surface, not below it. Also, one has to keep the tip close to the side wall of the milk can, to get a swirl going. Finally, keep your hands steady, once you find a good position! Using milk with more fat content will lead to good steaming, as will using homogenized fresh milk.
