5. FROTHING AND STEAMING

Steaming or frothing introduces tiny bubbles of air into the milk, giving it a velvety texture.

•Cappuccinos and lattés both use frothed milk, but a latté has a more velvety texture as the milk is frothed from the bottom of the jug – only the top 1cm of a cappuccino comprises frothed milk.

•Use cold semi-skimmed milk the lower the fat content of the milk, the denser the froth will be. With full fat milk the froth will quickly collapse.

•Don't let milk boil – ideally it should reach 70–75°C. Once it reaches 79°C you will lose the froth. Listen to the sound of the frothing; when it is ready the sound of the frothing will become quieter.

•The steaming nozzle can also be used to deliver hot water for an American-style black coffee.
