Automatic induction milk station from Heylo/VEA Group: 25+ foam textures, 120ml cappuccino milk in 18 seconds, less than 1% waste. Runs unsupervised, in parallel with the rest of the workflow. For high-volume cafés and hotels.
The automatic induction milk station that frees up the barista
A classic steam wand always ties the barista down – it demands constant attention from start to finish. heyMILKY changes that equation: a standalone induction milk station that heats and froths milk or plant-based drinks straight from the fridge and dispenses the selected texture into the pitcher, while the barista pulls espresso, preps the next order, or serves guests at the same time. Designed by Heylo, the innovation brand of Italy's VEA Group – the same industrial family behind Carimali and Elektra.

01
Induction, not steam – and it runs in parallel
heyMILKY draws milk or a plant-based beverage directly from the fridge, heats and froths it using induction technology, and dispenses the selected texture straight into the pitcher – a 120ml cappuccino is ready in 18 seconds, according to the manufacturer. Unlike a traditional steam wand, which requires the barista's constant attention, milk preparation on heyMILKY runs fully automatically and unsupervised, in parallel with the rest of the workflow behind the counter.

02
25+ foam textures, less than 1% waste
A 4.3" touchscreen selects the recipe, temperature and volume. heyMILKY offers 25+ foam textures, adjustable per recipe, with automatic calibration and an optional manual adjustment. Thanks to its milk return system and precise per-recipe dosing, waste is reduced to less than 1%. It works with both dairy milk and plant-based beverages, hot or cold.

Transparency note: the manufacturer's own brochure also contains an unrelated "over 100 texture levels" figure elsewhere in its body text, which contradicts the "25+" figure confirmed both on the brochure's own feature summary and on the manufacturer's current website. We use "25+" as the more reliable, twice-confirmed figure.
03
Hygiene made simple
heyMILKY runs an automatic sanitising cycle of 8–10 minutes, with detergent detection and no need for staff supervision. This automated cycle doesn't replace baseline maintenance – milk lines, seals and other wear parts still need regular checking, as with any professional milk system.
Compact footprint, approx. 15 kg – fits tight counters and modular bar setups
04
Two milk types, one compact station
heyMILKY allows convenient management of two different milk or plant-based beverages, with easy switching during service. Customisable panels with LED lights let venues tailor the look to their own style. An optional angled pitcher support is available for, according to the manufacturer, an even finer texture.

Optional accessory: angled pitcher support
Important manufacturer clarification: cross-contamination between different milk types is not guaranteed. For venues with strict requirements (drinks explicitly marketed as "100% dairy-free", guests with a milk-protein allergy), this should be taken seriously when designing the menu.

Market launchOctober 2025, HostMilano
The manufacturer has not published voltage, frequency or power figures for heyMILKY. Solino confirms the exact electrical requirements directly with VEA Group before every installation – we do not state figures here that aren't officially documented. Separately, the unit "Wh" (watt-hours) is unusual for a standby consumption figure, normally expressed in watts; we report it exactly as stated by the manufacturer, without reinterpreting it.
Comparison
heyMILKY vs. a traditional steam wand
Traditional steam wand
Attention required: constant supervision by the barista
Parallel tasks: not possible – the barista is tied up
Consistency between baristas: heavily dependent on experience
Milk waste: experience-dependent, often leftovers
Texture variety: depends on manual technique
Cleaning: manual after every use
Two milk types: usually one per pitcher, manually swapped
Parallel tasks: espresso/other tasks at the same time (manufacturer figure)
Consistency between baristas: less dependent on operator experience (manufacturer figure)
Milk waste: less than 1%, thanks to the recovery system
Texture variety: 25+ preset textures
Cleaning: automatic 8–10 minute cycle
Two milk types: manageable in one unit – cross-contamination not guaranteed
This comparison covers workflow, consistency and waste – not taste quality, for which no independent data is available.
