A guide for new baristas: What should you pay attention to when making milk froth for fancy coffee?

A perfect cup of coffee depends not only on the quality of coffee beans and the skill of the barista, but also on whether the milk foam is dense and smooth. There are many aspects to pay attention to when making milk foam for fancy coffee, and every small link may lead to failure in making milk foam.

Today, the barista training class of EHS Coffee Academy will specifically share with you the tips on making milk froth for fancy coffee , for you who are working hard to practice making milk froth!

First, when making milk foam for fancy coffee, you must master the position of the steam pipe. Place the nozzle below the surface of the milk and turn on the steam. Remember not to insert the nipple too deep, and as the milk foam increases, slowly raise the height of the nipple, and always keep the depth between the nipple and the milk at 0.7 cm .

If you turn on the steam while the nozzle is above the liquid, you will get larger bubbles that you will have to work harder to get rid of.

Slowly bring the nozzle up to the surface of the milk. Stop just as it breaks the surface. Air is sucked into the milk and you will hear the typical frothing sound. If you accidentally lift the nozzle above the water level, the pressurized air will be blown onto the milk instead of into it, creating large bubbles.

Secondly, when making milk foam, you must remember to stop at the right temperature. The most suitable temperature for making milk foam is 55-65 degrees Celsius . If you wait too long, the milk will coagulate and the taste will change.

Next, you have to choose the milk for frothing. You must use refrigerated whole milk , so that the froth will be more durable and delicate.

Finally, choosing a milk jug that is easy for you to use can not only improve the wear resistance and appearance of the coffee, but also effectively reduce energy consumption and reduce milk waste.
