Make perfect and delicate foam at home

Foam is second only to Espresso in the importance of espresso. Most espresso, whether classic or creative, will use foam to make up, and modern Latte Art has raised the status of foam to an unprecedented level. How to make high quality foam at home? In fact, you don't need an expensive coffee maker or outstanding technology, you just need to read this article patiently.

1. Apparatus

At present, there are two kinds of instruments suitable for spending milk foam at home: manual milking machine and electric milking machine. Although the electric one is cheap and labor-saving, the quality of the foam is not flattering, so I will focus on the manual milking machine here. Contestants focus on the filter screen, preferably a double-layer filter, and the closure of the filter and the cup wall should be good.

two。 Raw material

It has to be fresh milk.

3. Production steps

(1) the manual milking machine can send out foam no matter whether the milk is cold or hot, so the temperature of the milk can be determined according to the actual demand, but if you make hot coffee, it is recommended that the milk be about 65 degrees Celsius, not more than 75 degrees Celsius, if it is cold milk, the recommended temperature is about 5 degrees.

(2) put the lid on the pot and find a clean towel to surround it.

(3) the light pull rod, here is the focus of whether the foam is delicate or not, the force must be the wrist force, not the whole arm force. When pulling foam, you should first pull with high frequency and small amplitude, and with the weight in your hands, begin to increase the amplitude and decrease the frequency at the same time.

(4) when you start to feel heavier and heavier in your hands, you can open the lid to take a look at the foam. Under normal circumstances, the amount of foam can reach 1 to 1.5 times the original volume.

(5) the rougher foam on the top layer can be broken by shaking and hitting the table with a milk tank, or it can be scraped off directly with a spoon.
