only to 60–70% of capacity. Never run the unit dry. Aim for a steam pressure of 1.5–2.5 bar, and reduce the heat immediately if the gauge enters the red zone. Before frothing milk, open the steam wand for about 2 seconds to clear condensation. After use, turn off the heat, open the valve to release pressure, and wait until the gauge reads 0 before opening the lid. Maintenance is otherwise limited: keep the unit clean and occasionally lubricate the piston seals with food-safe silicone grease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;padding-bottom:8px;margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:12px\"\u003eAbout the manufacturer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAleman Lab focuses on the art behind manual espresso. Their philosophy is based on pure mechanics and thermal stability, without circuit boards and pumps taking over the experience.

This is evident here as well: the expression is industrial, almost sculptural, and far from an ordinary electric milk frother.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-top:20px;font-style:italic\"\u003eIf you are looking for a distinct and uncompromising solution for microfoam, the Aleman Z-Series is a strong choice for a more manual and professional espresso corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection style=\"border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;padding-top:16px;margin-top:24px\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;padding-bottom:8px;margin-top:0\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-top:12px\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;padding:4px 0;list-style:none\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:inline-block;margin-right:8px;color:#666\"\u003e▾\u003c\/span\u003eWhat makes the Aleman Z-Series a professional milk frother for espresso?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:8px;padding-left:20px\"\u003eIt uses a water-steam separating design that helps deliver dry, powerful steam for fine microfoam.
