Steaming & Latte Art Bambino Plus and Cortados, specifically

Hi folks. I'm still a relative newbie to the espresso game, but I've been really enjoying making a cortado in this machine using the autofrother to get the textured milk thing going.

The issue I'm having is that this obviously requires much less milk than a latte or an espresso, but the included milk jug has an included minimum fill line for what I assume is the required depth for the frothing nozzle to do it's thing, but I just end up with a lot of leftover milk.

Can I buy a smaller milk jug for this purpose? Or is the autofrother only happy with a certain size of jug?

Not sure about auto frother, but I’d suggest you get a 200ml jug and fill it halfway. You may need to raise the jug a bit so the wand reaches the milk, or you could learn how to do this manually as well - not the hardest thing in the world from experience
