Abstract: A device for producing milk froth for cappuccino, having a nozzle arrangement (1,2) that is disposed downstream of a steam pipe (4)and has a vacuum chamber (3), into which a milk supply line (6) terminates, and with am air conduit (8) connected to the milk supply line (6) upstream of the vacuum chamber (3). An emulsifying chamber (9) is disposed downstream of the vacuum chamber (3), with the emulsifying chamber having a chamber wall, a floor with a central, flow-diverting protrusion and an outlet. A settling segment (16) adjoins the outlet. For the fine-pored emulsification of milk froth with the device, the emulsifying chamber (9,23,32), which is embodied without separate air inlets, has at least two free cross sections that widen step-wise in the primary flow direction (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrically-heated steam iron, in which an electric heating body is connected to an iron soleplate (2) in a thermally-conductive manner. The iron soleplate (2) is provided on its running surface with a coating or an additional soleplate having a relatively poor thermal conductivity. In accordance with the invention, the iron soleplate (2) has a thickened region (14) at its tip, the region (14) comprising a material that conducts and retains heat well, and being disposed in the soleplate tip region, so no disruptive drop in temperature occurs here. The thickened region (14) is embodied with two legs, which extend around a steam labyrinth (7) on the surface of the iron soleplate.
