4 Tips to Steam and Froth The Perfect milk for Latte Art 

I’ve gotten better texture over the past while. But I noticed something recently. There’s one whole organic milk sold by Farm Boy that I can never get right. I steam it like I do with others and it always has this odd bubbling. Could it be that I’m just unlucky, or is there a difference between whole milk brands? I never run into this with others. I’ve even had better luck with oat milk. Thanks

​@@Photosandfood Oh yes, some milk interacts strangely with the rise in temperature. I'm pretty sure you are familiar with proteins and how it can respond to certains kind of process. I guess this farm boy milk is just the way it is ! It reminds me of rice milk or coconut !!

@@CoffeetoArt thanks! I thought I was going crazy. I’m on a kitchen reno right now and my machine is stored. I want to cry! 😂

@@Photosandfood hahah I feel you ! I have at least 10 methods to make myself a coffee! Just to be sure :)

Nice ! Toujours plaisant quand c'est de la même ville 😀

@@CoffeetoArt Cool ! Merci

maybe it is because of dry steam

@@evazzz9852 After considering all options we eventually found it had to do with the steam wand tip. The one we were using had 4 holes and after changing to a 3 hole tip we are getting beautifully silky milk. Very interesting.

Hey mate. It's the right method if you dont have a thermometer, but your hand gets used to the heat. There's another method you can combine with the hand method, the sound. A milk burning with a steam wand will be a lower sound. You can hear it if you try. Try to pour the same amount of milk in your jug each time and start the timer. Stop when de sound change. It means you burned the milk. Substract 2-3 seconds for the right temperature. Please keep me in touch.

Also, with a good espresso machine, for 250 ml of milk, the steam time should be around 13 - 14 seconds.

Thank you so much for your time to answer me! Actually i don't think my espresso machine is high quality...i'd say it is medium/low...for example, my wand has one hole instead of 3/4 of a professional machine (like yours as i see i the video), so i noticed that the steam is less powerful in some way...i tried again these days and sometimes i got good foam, but unfortunately i still get bubbles in it...but the sound tip is very clever! I didn't actually tried to focus on that! Another thing is that the vortex in the milk is not so evident...but maybe it's because my wand has one hole :(@@CoffeetoArt

I don't know the correct ways so don't take my word for it but as you steam the milk, you can feel it warm up, I've heard that you go until its painful then stop. For me I need to go a little less than that or else it burns but just going by feel is how me and two other people I know do it. A thermometer is possibly the only other way to do it since it varies in time depending on how strong the steam is coming out of the machine and such.

Another video says use milk the colder the better also chill the jug

Hey mate ! I prefer 4 holes !

Hey Jack ! Hope you potato's good :) You should be fine with the cooksworks. Whit low steam power, the swirl is your best friend. Find the best spot and keep this position. Don't forget to tap you pitcher after steaming !

@@CoffeetoArt ahaha wow you’re funny too lol! Thank you for responding. I once help the spout above for 6 second to get it frothy and the rest I put it lower to break down the bubbles and that did very nice art, haven’t been able to do it since ahah! I tried using a thermometer but it fell in lol. Any tips to make me consistent? Just lots of practice I guess ahah! I love your channel

😘

Hey mate, it's a simonelli Oscar 1.

@@CoffeetoArt thanks

It has to be whole milk.

Hey Kevin ! Simonelli Oscar 1

Hello. Whole milk 3.25% fat. Working good with 2% to 3.5% ! Hope it helps you !

Hey Alan ! Barista express can make good milk but the rotation is the key. You need the find the perfect spot to make your milk swirl. Make sure to hear a constant light foaming sound and you should be fine ! You can try differents milk % too. Keep me in touch :)

@@CoffeetoArt Sounds good, Yeah I think I have a hard time telling the difference between the swirl and rolling. I’ve been using whole milk but I’ll try other percents if that makes a difference

@@alantran5908 I get the best results with 3%.

@@alantran5908 Oscar simonelli 2. Not so good for espresso but incredible good for steaming! It's done in only 10 second. But again this is not amazing machine for espresso.

Same observation.
