How to steam milk for milk frother to make perfect latte art ?

Posted by Simonou Mike on

As a New barista beginner, Do you know how to steam milk for latte art correctly?

This article is from @Karlo_barista Barista Champion 2108 of Croatia.

 

Does steamed milk type matter to achieve the perfect latte?

Some baristas are saying that: " It doesn't matter which milk type are we using, just steam milk correctly and it will be delicious."

In one hand we have to agree with them, but using the organic and fresh milk is always the best choice you can make. Keep in mind one simple rule: "More fat, less heat" .

If you are using thick and fresh creamy milk, your baseline temperature is 60 degree(C°).

Once you use the low fat milk options, you will need to slightly increase the milk heat. Never over 80 degree(C°).

In the end, your main goal is to get that creamy and glossy microfoam and you will enjoy in your delicious cups of coffee.

How to steam milk properly?

Place your Milk Frother on the wand with half of the tip of the steam wand submerged under the milk and the rest of the wand showing

Position the wand so that's about a third of the way off the side of the milk jug, just a little bit off the center of the milk jug.

Turn the wand on and you should see the milk start to rotate in a vortex like motion and you should hear air being drawn into the milk. While this is going down use your other hand to feel the temperature.

When you magicly decide you've got enough air and you want to stop stretching, just look and listen, you will figure it out, move your milk frother ever up so slighty until you hear that sucking sound stop.

Don't go up too far or you will give yourself way more problem the you need. When the jug becomes too hot to touch for more than a second turnd the steam wand off, clean the wand and blow the steam immedeatly and you are good to go. Your milk should be glossy and creamy and whats most important no big bubbles.

If you turn on your wand and you dont hear any air being drawn into the milk you need to slowly lower your pitcher until you hear air being drawn. If you turn on your wand and you hear a huge blast of air right away you are going to need to move your jug up really quickly to stop the introduction of any excess air.

So position Not Deep enough Or Too Deep are Wrong.

The picture 2 is Correct action.

 

How much milk is appropriate to use ?

Here we also have one simple rule: "Use that amount of milk you need for one cup". Why?

Because, if you are using way too much milk and steaming it for the second time, you won't get that creamy and glossy microfoam once again. We will explain chemical reactions in next chapter.

Of course it depens on which cup size you are using in your coffee shop, so baristas job is to find that sweet spot how much milk he will use for a cup.

 

This is the mesure for 350ml milk jug how much milk I'm using for 1 cup.

  • The simple truth about binary options which many of us do not know is the fact that it is mainly based on predictions. Without proper knowledge of what next can happen to the stock market, you are sure to lose your funds. That is why it is important to be tutored or mentored by a professional trader in binary options. During few days of being mentored by sir Jefferson  I’ve learnt much and also succeeding in trades and has been doing successful withdrawals and was able to recover all my lost funds.
