Abstract: A steam distributor for a coffee machine and a coffee machine are described. The steam distributor includes a rod-like distributor body and an outlet area for discharging steam and/or air from an interior of the distributor body into a surrounding of the distributor body. The outlet area is arranged on an outer surface of the distributor body and is configured to discharge the steam and/or the air in such a way that the steam and/or the air forms a flow which has a tangential flow direction with respect to the distributor body and flows tangentially out of the distributor body. This structure of the distributor body allows milk or a milk substitute liquid to be foamed advantageously, because a circular flow is produced in the milk or the milk substitute liquid.
