THE BARISTA WEDGE®
Perfectly steamed milk comes down to getting the little things right - the position of the steam wand, the angle of the jug, the way the milk moves and how long it spends spinning in the vortex all make a difference. Get them working together and you get smooth, velvety milk time after time.
Traditionally, getting that consistency relies on the barista. Even small changes in how the jug is held or positioned can affect the texture, making it harder to get the same result from one cup to the next.
The Barista Wedge® helps take some of that guesswork out of the process. Simply place the milk jug on the wedge beneath the steam wand, holding it securely in the correct position for a controlled, consistent vortex throughout the steaming process.
The result: silky, evenly textured milk, fewer adjustments and a more consistent outcome every time.
SET. STEAM. SERVE.
1. Add the milk
Fill the milk jug with the required quantity of milk.
2. Position the jug
Place the jug on the Barista Wedge® and position the steam wand as required.
3. Start steaming
The wedge supports the jug and maintains a consistent working position while the steam does its job.
4. Get on with the next task
Because the jug doesn't need to be continuously held, the barista is free to prepare the espresso, organise the next order or manage another part of the coffee-making process.
5. Serve consistently textured milk
The result is a more repeatable milk preparation process — cup after cup, shift after shift and regardless of who is operating the coffee machine.
ONE SIMPLE CHANGE TO THE WORKFLOW
The innovation isn't about replacing the espresso machine or reinventing how milk is steamed.
It's about removing one of the biggest variables from the process: the need for a person to manually hold the milk jug in exactly the right position every single time.
By controlling that part of the process, the system can help operators achieve:
More consistent milk texture;
Greater consistency between members of staff;
Less reliance on advanced barista technique;
More efficient use of staff time;
Faster workflow during busy periods;
The ability to manage more than one task while milk is steaming.
The Barista Wedge® is currently pending an international patent.
