Smart Moose pitchers need to be activated and programmed upon receipt. It takes just a few simple steps to set the texture (= thickness/density of the microfoam) and the temperature* of the steamed milk, exactly to your wishes.
You only have to activate a new smart pitcher once. The texture and temperature you indicate are then set for every steaming cycle of this particular smart pitcher.
Once the initial recipe is set, you can always adjust texture and temperature pitcher settings afterwards if you want. Click here to see how to adjust the recipe on your smart pitcher.

Click on > in the right bottom corner to move to the second step.
Second, set the temperature of the microfoam by moving your finger along the slider. The more you move the slider to the left, the colder. The more you move the slider to the right, the hotter.
Default temperature is 64° Celsius for dairy and 62° Celsius for plant-based milks.

Why the option to adjust texture and temperature is a good thing
Not every mi*lk reacts the same to steaming. Test which texture and temperature setting are best for your milk and stick to it. Consistent mi*lk coffee quality guaranteed, customers will thank you for it.
