Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of coffee machines. Background Art

[0002] Milk foam is the soul of Italian coffee. A cup of exquisite coffee can bring a unique sense of tranquility amidst busy work and life. However, creating milk foam can be challenging, especially with traditional steam brewers, which require skill and timing to create a fine, delicate foam. Technological advancements have led to devices that utilize the Venturi effect to create fine, frothy foam by simply manipulating steam and milk. However, milk can condense as it flows into and remains in the pipe, especially during the mixing and heating of steam. Therefore, a design that is easy to clean is required. Utility Model Content
