Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020254092A1] The invention relates to a method and to a device for producing milk froth, in particular for preparing beverages containing milk froth using coffee machines. The beverage, preferably cold milk, is at least partially introduced into a container (10) before the preparation. The introduced beverage, in the container (10) positioned on a placement surface (9*) of a station (9), is guided through at least one line (5), which leads away from the station (9), to a device for preparing preferably milk froth or hot milk. The beverage is subsequently led back into the container (10), and this circulation is repeated preferably until the beverage has a certain temperature and/or consistency. Using this method, a container can, in itself, be used by the operating personnel in a conventional way for the preparation of the beverage, because the beverage can thus be prepared manually and specifically in accordance with the desires of the guest, while the milk froth or the like can be produced and served with constant and high quality.
