When I first learned to pull flowers, I always couldn't grasp how to hit the foam, or how to judge the thickness of the foam.

Either the amount of foam is not enough, the foam is too thin, as soon as the shape has not come out, the foam will float away.

And you need to know what kind of milk is used to beat coffee foam.

Or the foam is too fierce, the milk foam is too thick, a pour is a lump …...

(if the foam is too thick, the one in the middle will not move when shaking the milk tank.)

In fact, it's good to hit thick, and you can save it by dividing the cylinder, but it seems that there is really nothing you can do about it if it is thinned.

Before we talk about how to foam, let's take a look at what we should pay attention to.

| | Milk: what kind of milk is better for coffee foam? |

Will the difference of milk affect the foam?

In fact, as long as there is protein, because protein is the cause of milk foaming. As for the amount of fat, it will only have a greater impact on the milk coffee. It is recommended to use whole milk with a fat content of 3.2-3.8%. We use Weiji fresh milk, because fresh milk is better in terms of foam density, sweetness and durability.

And it is recommended to use frozen milk, because for most beginners, they are not proficient in the process of foaming, so it takes a long time to beat and beat the foam (which will be explained below). Frozen milk at about 5 °C has the longest heating time and has enough time for beginners to adjust the angle and control the whirlpool.

Do not pour out the remaining milk in the foam tank every time, you can continue to use it after being refrigerated in the freezer, but it should be noted that the temperature must be fully cooled down first, and then all the second-used milk should not be used. as the milk will contain a lot of water, the milk flavor will fade, so at least more than half of the fresh milk should be mixed.
