Tips for the perfect milk froth
∙ Do not fi ll the frothing jug more than half-full.
∙ The milk should be cold, as this will extend the frothing
time.
∙ Place your hand underneath the container, in such a
way that you have good control over the temperature,
which should not exceed 60 °C. As a general rule,
milk should not be heated over 68 °C, to prevent the
proteins from coagulating, making frothing impossible.
∙ The barista favours a creamy milk froth.
∙ Creamy milk froth tastes signifi cantly better in a
cappuccino, which is traditionally made without cocoa
powder.
