1. A nozzle structure, comprising:
a nozzle body comprising an intake end configured to engage with a source of steam and an outtake end, the outtake end forming a plurality of paired-evenly numbered nozzle bores comprising at least four bores where each bore of the at least four bores allows steam to pass from an interior space defined by the nozzle body to a space outside of the nozzle body, the nozzle body defining at least one groove extending around an exterior surface of the nozzle body to mark a depth at which the nozzle body is to be inserted into a vessel of milk to froth the milk, wherein:, the bores of the at least four bores being formed such that:
each bore of the at least four bores is oriented to cause steam to exit the nozzle structure at an angle acute to a longitudinal axis extending from the intake end through the outtake end, the acute angle being between each bore and the longitudinal axis;
each bore of the at least four bores is uniformly distributed about an exterior frustrum surface of the outtake end of the nozzle body o cause steam to exit the nozzle structure in a direction different from one or more remaining bores of the at least four bores; and
the direction, respective to a lateral plane, of each bore is parallel and opposing to a corresponding direction of one other bore of the plurality of evenly numbered nozzle bores;
the interior space is comprised of a first portion and a second portion, the first portion adjacent to the intake end being of a width greater than the second portion adjacent to the outtake end, the first and second portions being separated by an interior ridge comprising a gasket; and
a plurality of flat exterior ridges on the exterior surface of the nozzle body intersect with and reduce the diameter of the exterior frustrum surface, the flat exterior ridges to engage a gripping tool for attaching or removing the nozzle body.
