How to hit the foam by hand? video tutorial of hand foam skills

The steam pressure is controlled by the steam pressure valve through the advanced espresso machine, or by the height of the knob and nozzle from the milk level. The closer the distance is, the finer the foam is.

In addition, foam fineness can also be increased by buying nozzle accessories, such as Rancilio's 3 Hole Steam Tip, which is a great three-hole nozzle to upgrade his Silvia.

Steam can also buy an electric bubble stick, such as my aerolatte stick, the disadvantage is that cold milk is easy to beat, but it is easy to heat the foam after beating, and it is difficult to heat the milk before heating it.

In addition, milk with high fat content is more likely to bubble, and friends who generally do not drink whole milk can also consider adding half-half in order to bubble.

Finally, encourage the rookie, bubble is an empirical job, practice makes perfect, then closed eyes to change hands I have no problem, you will only idle too much.

These concepts are the concepts in my teaching system, but can not be treated as industry standard concepts, remember! Hot milk: refers to the milk that has not been sent at the bottom of the flower jar after the foam operation; foam refers to the foam floating on the upper part of the hot milk after the foam operation; the foam refers to the final product formed after the hot milk and foam are fully mixed after the foam operation. This is also the purpose of milking in most cases.

The method of making milk foam by hand

The first step: first do fast low hit, hit until there is obvious resistance and continuous feeling; then do medium hit, also hit obvious resistance and continuous feeling; finally do high hit, hit as a whole have resistance and continuous feeling. Tip: pay attention to the height of the twitch.

Step 2: repeat the first step. In this way, the process of manual milking is completed. If you want your foam not to be too thick, to have a certain sense of flow, just take the first step. Pulling out the piston vertically after foam is helpful to drive out a lot of coarse bubbles.
