Drinks mentioned are only suggestions. Experiment with different settings and drinks to your personal taste.
FROTHING MILK
- Place the frothing whisk securely into the frothing pitcher. Position the flat end of the frother whisk over the rod at the bottom of the frothing pitcher and push down until it is secure. Do not operate the Frother Station without a frothing whisk installed in the pitcher, as this can cause uneven heating and burning.
- Pour fresh, cold milk of choice into the frothing pitcher between the MIN and MAX frothing indicator lines. See “Milk Measurements” on page 12. Do not overfill the pitcher. Overfilling may cause the milk frother to overflow when using a foam setting.
- Cover the frothing pitcher with the lid.
- Place the frothing pitcher securely on the frother base.
- Press the Start button to begin frothing with default or previously used settings, or
- Change the Foam and Temperature settings and then press Start. See “Temperature and Foam Settings” on page 9.
- The frother will “beep” one time and begin the frothing cycle. To stop frothing, press the Cancel button or remove the frothing pitcher.
- When the milk has reached the correct temperature and thickness, the frother will stop, return to Ready mode, and “beep” one time.
- Carefully remove the frothing pitcher from the frother base using the stay-cool frother handle. Serve the foam with a spoon or pour directly from the spout.
- Enjoy your frothy beverage!
The frothing pitcher must always be in place on the frother base for your Instant Frother Station to operate. Removing it at any time before or during use will automatically stop frothing, and the frother returns to Ready mode.
Be careful: Frothing reaches high temperatures. DO NOT touch the frother pitcher or frother base during or immediately after the brewing process, as both will be very hot. Touching hot surfaces may result in burns, other personal injury, and/or property damage.
Milk Measurements
Be careful: To avoid overflow when using the Extra Foam setting, do not add more than 200 mL of milk to the frothing pitcher.
Frothing Tips
Cold milk is best
- Using the coldest, freshest milk will almost always produce the best foam.
- When frothing, millions of tiny air bubbles are introduced into the liquid. The longer it takes to heat up, the more air can be infused into the liquid. The end result is silky, rich foam and a lower chance of scalding.
Not all dairy-free milks produce foam
- Milk with lots of fat will form a thick, creamy foam.
- Milk with less fat and more protein will create a light, airy foam.
- Some plant-based milks are too watery to create the best results. See “Types of Milk” on the following page.
Infuse your foam with flavor
Before frothing, add aromatic spices to the pitcher, like cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg, or other fragrant items like lavender.
Let the frother rest
When frothing up large batches of foam, we suggest letting your frother rest for 3–4 minutes after every 2 frothing cycles to ensure it continues to perform at its best.
Creating latte art
As soon as the frother finishes whipping up your warm foam, lift the pitcher off the base (lid on) and gently swirl the pitcher. This helps give your latte foam a glossiness ideal for latte art. Experiment with different milks for the best results.
Types of Milk
As you begin using your Instant Frother Station, you will discover that different milk types and brands produce different types of foam. Depending on your personal taste and desired results, you can experiment with dairy, nut, and plant-based milks. Some dairy-free milk brands offer barista-specific formulas, which can produce better foam compared to the standard formula.
Recipes to try with your Instant Frother Station
CARE, CLEANING, AND STORAGE
Your Instant Frother Station pitcher and whisk should be cleaned after each use to avoid any residue buildup.
Unplug the frother’s power cord from the power outlet and let it cool to room temperature before cleaning. Never use metal scouring pads, abrasive powders, or harsh chemical detergents on any of the frother’s parts.
Let all parts dry thoroughly before each use and before storage.
Be careful: The frother contains electrical components.
To avoid fire, electric shock, other personal injury, and/or property damage:
DO NOT rinse or immerse the frother base, power cord, or plug in water or other liquids.

Instant Pot MFM-2000 MagicFroth 9-in-1 Steamer-Frother-FAQs
What are the disadvantages of using a milk frother?
Handheld frothers require manual effort, may struggle with thicker or non-dairy milk, and usually don’t heat milk on their own.
What settings does the Instant Pot MagicFroth offer?
It provides four preset modes: cold foam, light warm foam, dense warm foam, and warm milk.
Is a milk frother worth buying?
Yes. If you love coffee, lattes, or hot chocolate, a frother helps you make café-quality drinks at home.
What’s the difference between a milk frother and a milk steamer?
A frother creates light, airy foam, while a steamer heats and lightly textures milk with steam.
What type of milk froths best?
Whole cow’s milk produces the creamiest foam. Soy, coconut, and almond milk also work but may give different textures.
Can I froth milk for coffee drinks?
Yes. Frothers are great for cappuccinos, lattes, macchiatos, flat whites, and cold foam drinks.
What are common mistakes when frothing milk?
Incorrect wand placement, overheating the milk, re-frothing previously steamed milk, and skipping the swirl/roll technique.
What causes watery or weak foam?
Using very cold or very hot milk, or not aerating properly at the start, can create thin or unstable foam.
Should milk be hot or cold before frothing?
Start with cold milk. It textures best before reaching 100°F (around 38°C).
How do I stop milk from “screaming” while frothing?
Move the frothing wand slightly deeper into the milk—screeching indicates the tip is too close to the surface.
