Zusammenfassung:In the field of beverage making, a milk frothing arrangement is provided that comprises: a main channel (40) having a milk inlet (41); a steam supply arrangement; a steam channel (42) arranged to receive steam from the steam supply arrangement at an upstream side and to merge into the main channel (40) at a downstream side; a mixing chamber (35) into which the main channel (40) debouches at a position downstream of the position where the steam channel (42) merges into the main channel (40); and a controller configured to control operation of the milk frothing arrangement. The controller is particularly configured to control a froth-to-milk ratio to be realized by controlling the pressure of the steam to be supplied by the steam supply arrangement, wherein the froth-to-milk ratio may be derived from input provided by a user about a beverage type that is to be made.
