How to Froth Like a Pro: A few simple tips to help ensure a fantastic frothing experience every time.
Fresher is Better
Using fresh milk delivers the richest, frothiest foam possible. Opened milk will still froth, but may lose
effectiveness over time as the fats inside break down.
Milk Matters! Different types of milk produce different results. Depending on which milk you use,
here’s what you can expect:
• Fat-Free/Skim Milk: Easy to froth, it creates a light, airy foam.
• 2% Milk: Easy to foam like skim milk, but with a creamier consistency.
• Whole Milk: Higher fat content creates the richest-tasting foam.
• Lactose-Free Milk: Less reliable, due to its different properties.
• Dairy Alternatives: Results will vary depending on type; loses its bubbles quicker than dairy milk.
Not All Brands Are the Same
Even individual brands of milk can froth differently, so experiment with different brands to see what works best.
