Milk
Dosed precisely in millilitres.
A milk station without steam. Milk comes straight from the fridge, is heated by induction as it flows, and is textured with a measured amount of air. Hot or cold, dairy or plant-based: the drink is made of milk only.
The milk half of the Heylo workstation. Pair it with the Heylo Coffee Unit, or run it standalone.
THE RECIPE
A recipe is milk, air and heat.
Every drink on the Heylo Milk Unit is three settings. How much milk, and which of the two. How much air, from flat to dense. How hot, along a profile, or not hot at all. Save the combination as a recipe: the barista chooses the recipe, not the technique.
Air
How much foam. 25 levels, adjustable on the fly.
Heat
Hot, up to 65 °C, along a temperature profile. Or cold, with no heat at all.
HEAT
Heated as it flows. Never boiled, never diluted.
The traditional way to heat milk is steam, and steam is water. Steam adds water to the milk. With plant-based drinks that changes the texture, and it changes it differently every time.
The Heylo Milk Unit heats milk by induction as it flows through the unit, with no steam and no added water. It runs a temperature profile while heating, avoiding thermal shock; with the right parameters there is no burnt-milk flavour. The maximum is 65 °C.
Cold drinks skip the heat. Same recipe logic, same air, at fridge temperature: cold foam for iced cappuccinos and other cold drinks.

TEXTURE
Foam is a setting.
The Air Texturing System adds a measured amount of air to the milk. Choose one of 25 foam levels, from flat to dense, hot or cold. Adjust it on the fly, drink by drink, or fix it in the recipe.
Two routines keep the settings true over time: an automatic air calibration and a volume autolearning procedure.
Consistent results across dairy and plant-based, hot or cold. Set once at the machine, not relearned by each barista.
Not only milk. Plant-based drinks, tea, chocolate and cold brew coffee can be dispensed and foamed with the same unit.
TWO MILKS
Two milks. One unit. Less than 1% wasted.
Two milks from one module. A rinse runs automatically between types. Dairy on one line and oat on the other, or two dairies, each with its own recipes.
Cross-contamination tests are available.
Milk waste stays under 1%, adjustable by recipe. At the end of each selection the circuit is flushed with an adjustable quantity, and milk that is not dispensed is pushed back to the fridge.
CLEANING
Clean, checked, ready.
An automatic sanitary cleaning cycle runs through the whole circuit. Detergent detection tells you if any sanitising liquid is left in the tubes before the next drink. Clean the full circuit with Heylo-approved detergent.
The inductors are removable for cleaning: nothing to replace. If the hydraulic circuit is blocked, the unit detects it and says so.
CONTROLS
Two knobs. One display. No warm-up.
Two rotary knobs and a 4.3-inch display: turn to choose the recipe, press to pour. Recipes are built in the Heylo configurator software on a PC and loaded onto the unit.
There is nothing to heat up in advance. The unit is ready to serve as soon as it is switched on.
ENERGY
No boiler. No steam. Nothing kept hot.
Milk is heated only while a drink is being made. The rest of the time it draws only 10 Wh. In energy-saving mode, 7.8 Wh.
