There are three main methods for making coffee milk foam at home. But no matter which method you use, you need to use whole milk, which means the fat content of milk must be higher than 3.7%.

If you have an espresso machine, you can generally use an espresso machine to make it.

1. How to froth milk with a coffee machine

In the early days of using an espresso machine, Lao Yang mainly used this method, but he never mastered it well enough. The following production method is compiled from information collected on the Internet, but Lao Yang himself generally uses method two: use a double-layered milk foaming cup to froth milk.

1. Do not put the steam pipe into the milk first, because there may be some condensed water vapor in the steam pipe, so before preparing to froth the milk, you need to put it first to drain out the excess water in the pipe. Moisture.

2. Beginners can insert the thermometer into the container, then insert the steam pipe diagonally into the milk, and then turn on the steam switch. This thermometer will also be used to control the temperature of milk when heating milk in the latter two methods. It is also a tool that beginners should prepare.

3. Insert the steam pipe into the milk bottle at an angle. The generally recommended angle is 60 degrees between the steam pipe and the horizontal plane of the milk surface.

4. Slowly adjust the position of the steam nozzle to a little distance from the surface of the milk, but never higher than the liquid level, otherwise the milk will splash everywhere. When the position is correct, you will hear a steady "hissing" sound, and the milk level will begin to rotate. If the steam pipe is not scaled in the correct position, it will be very loud or almost silent, and the milk level may There are constant bubbles.

5. When the milk froth has become denser, bury the steam pipe deeper and let the steam continue to heat the milk. When the temperature reaches 60 to 65 degrees and your hands feel slightly hot, you can turn off the steam switch. Frothing milk for too long can cause the milk to curdle, changing its texture. The milk should not be too thick as it will not mix well with the coffee. The milk should look like you are pouring yogurt.

6. Use a wet rag to wipe off the milk attached to the steam pipe, and at the same time release the steam again, and spray out the remaining milk in the steam pipe together with the steam to prevent the milk from clogging the steam after it dries. Tube.

2. How to make a double-layered milk foam cup

1. Prepare the milk (also full-fat milk) and heat the milk to 60 to 70 degrees. You can place the milk directly in the milk frother and process it on a gas stove or electromagnetic stove, or you can first place it in a porcelain cup or glass and heat it in a microwave oven. If you use a microwave to heat it, because it needs to be poured into the milk frother, a certain temperature will be absorbed by the milk frother, so the heating temperature should be slightly higher. But no higher than 75 degrees.

2. Froth milk while making coffee. The technique for frothing milk is to put a towel under the milk frother, hold the lid with your left hand, hold the ball with your right hand, and move it up and down quickly. The time range should be small and the speed should be fast. When it feels heavy, you can stop twitching, and then push the entire milk frother a few times, so that the milk in the milk foam will be thrown to the bottom of the cup. The towel on the pad can act as a buffer, and finally remove the filter. However, you can also use a coffee spoon to scrape off some air bubbles on the upper layer, and you will have perfect milk froth.

3. How to use a hand-held electric frother

1. Prepare the milk (also whole milk) and heat the milk to 60 to 70 degrees.

2. Turn on the switch of the handheld electric frother, insert the mixing head into the milk and stir continuously. Stir it for a few times to remove some rough bubbles.
