    There is a technique to learn. You need the wand just at the top of the liquid milk, and this will change depth as more milk is turned into foam. You need to listen to the sound and try to get the “whoosh” sound. Once you have enough foam you put it under the surface to continue to warm the milk without adding extra foam.

    I looked at a few videos. Some suggested putting wand at bottom and some like yourself from the top.

    Would you know what it means when the steam wand screeches? Its so loud it even scares me, never mind the kids.

    Best description I've come across is that you're putting the wand just under the surface and 'stretching' the milk, so as the milk level rises you keep moving the wand up, keeping it just under the surface. It could also be the kind of milk you're using. I've had more success with semi-skimmed milk than with full fat but have tried enough different types to know if that's the key factor.

    Typo - should be 'haven't tried enough'
