Frequently Asked Questions
Lattespresso represents a practical and safe solution for most families, namely for newborns and healthy children, for whom the microbiological risk from powdered milk is very low, if not rare, and for whom following the instructions on the packaging, along with good hygiene practices during bottle preparation, is sufficient to ensure a high level of safety.

Procedure recommended by the WHO for preparing a bottle with powdered milk:
1. Boil water at 100°C
2. Let it cool down to a temperature of 70°C
3. Add the powdered milk
4. After preparation, quickly cool the milk under a stream of cold running water until it reaches 37°C to prevent any remaining bacteria in the powdered milk from multiplying.
It is important to note that the WHO recommends using water ≥70°C to neutralize potential bacteria in powdered milk, especially for high-risk infants (premature, immunocompromised, infants in their first 2 months of life).
For healthy infants over 2 months old, the risk is greatly reduced if good hygiene practices are followed and the milk is consumed immediately.
Furthermore, many brands of powdered milk, according to the instructions on the packaging, recommend the use of lukewarm water or < 50°C. The 70°C indication only applies to a small number of brands and only to stage 1 milk, which is intended for very young babies. Below is a table with the instructions as indicated on the packaging of the most well-known and widespread brands of powdered milk on the Italian market:
Special feeding for at-risk infants
In many cases, for at-risk infants, such as those born prematurely, immunocompromised, or with medical conditions, pediatricians prescribe the use of pre-sterilized liquid medical-grade formula. In such cases, Lattespresso is not suitable.
What are the hygiene and safety advantages of Lattespresso compared to manual bottle preparation?
Lattespresso offers two main advantages over manual bottle preparation:
1. Fewer manual steps = lower risk of contamination
Being a closed system, Lattespresso prevents direct contact with the water and the formula during preparation, drastically reducing the risk of manual contamination. It avoids contact with spoons, work surfaces, hands, or objects that may not be perfectly clean and could carry germs and bacteria.
2. Immediate preparation and consumption = less bacterial growth
With Lattespresso, the milk is prepared and served immediately, avoiding the microbiological risk linked to the critical cooling or reheating steps typical of manual preparation. It minimizes the time between preparation and consumption and avoids the bacterial proliferation zone (7°C – 65°C), as recommended by the WHO.
Are there instant bottle makers that reach 70°C?
No, there are no fully automatic bottle makers on the market that dispense water at temperatures higher than 50°C. In conclusion, Lattespresso is designed to offer maximum hygiene and speed, drastically reducing the risks associated with milk preparation. Its effectiveness in terms of safety is based on:
• prevention of contamination
• reduction of waiting times
• automation of the process.
For healthy children, it represents a practical and safe solution. We clarify that the information provided aims to offer a clear and complete overview and in no way replaces the advice of a pediatrician, especially in the case of at-risk children.
INFORMATION ABOUT SPECIAL MILKS
Lattespresso, like all automatic infant formula makers, is not suitable for processing special medical milks prescribed by the pediatrician to address important issues such as intolerances, allergies, colic, constipation, gastroesophageal reflux, prematurity, and low birth weight.
These formulas have a composition with a higher fat percentage than regular infant formulas and risk forming clumps with dosing inaccuracies.
If your baby needs to be fed special milk for a period of time, manual preparation of the bottle with a measuring scoop is recommended.
