About this deal

It's exactly what you get at high-end café's (i.e. very small bubbles that are so tiny it produces a delicately smooth texture and tasting milk foam). There is a huge difference between this and a dry foam / cheaper / less well-made standard frothers that produce larger milk foam bubbles and runny milk - the last thing you want with a nice cappuccino is to be sipping on lots of air!

By the current state of view, foam is a thermodynamic unstable two-phases-system of rough distributed gaseous in liquid or solid medium. These kinds of milk frothers are a step up from the manual version above in terms of convenience. They aerate the milk in a very similar fashion, to a similar degree, but they heat the milk at the same time, saving you the additional step of heating the milk.

If milk is heated above 82°C (180°F), it becomes scalded and its texture is compromised. Microfoam cannot exist in overheated milk due to the missing tertiary structure in the protein. [18] When milk is scalded, the suspended protein casein becomes denatured and cannot maintain the intermolecular bonds necessary for microfoam. [19]

It might sound nondescript, but it's actually literally steamed milk. Meaning, milk that's been subjected to very hot steam, and thus heated. Bellman: had to keep on burner to keep consistent steam.. with 150ml of milk it was a bit too powerful, I had to modulate the knob. The knob and handle can get very hot! Very easy to get too much air.. For Bellman, a small burner induction (with metal disk underneath) might be better.. as would a pressure gauge which they now make for extra. Nut-based milk tends to have more protein and fats than any other plant milk. This makes frothing very easy, very much like dairy.

Don’t make the milk too hot. If the milk is so hot that you can’t hold the bottom of your pitcher, this is a sign you’ve gone too far. In this case, less is definitely more when it comes to the volume of heat you are using. You want to be careful not to burn the milk. When it’s finished, pour the velvety goodness into your espresso and enjoy it. If you’re feeling like a challenge, you could even channel your inner barista by adding a latte art heart.

The quality of the milk foam produced by the Subminimal NanoFoamer stands alone as it blends just perfectly with an espresso to make your own barista quality cappuccino. Again, old school latte was made with bigger bubbled froth, these days you'll usually find that it's more like a taller less intense flat white, being made with microfoam. If you're making your own flat whites from home, though, you can play around until you've got your latte exactly how you want it, and then just try to remember exactly what you did so you can repeat it over & over again. For the most part, microfoam is achieved when the nozzle of the steam wand is further down into the milk. Not at the bottom of the milk, but not at the top either. Air is supplied in the system by stirring or shaking under defined conditions. Thus the resulting total volume is determined. Furthermore the time-dependent foam reduction is observed. With a steam wand to help you to create the perfect creamy micro foam on your milky coffees or to create impressive latte art, professional 15-bar pressure heating system, tamper and a large filter basket that holds up to 16g of ground coffee, you’ll be brewing like a barista in no time.Procedure [ edit ] Milk being steamed. This milk would be too "foamy" for latte art, due to too much air (large bubbles) and the air not being sufficiently mixed into the milk.

You can use any of the manual milk frothers, above, for cold milk froth for milk shakes and other cold drinks, and many of the electric milk frothers have the ability to produce cold milk froth, too. You wouldn't want to use a steam wand to froth milk for milk shakes, unless you want hot milkshake, and each to their own – I suppose if it's a chocolate flavoured hot milk shake it would be a hot chocolate ;-). Can you froth non-dairy milk? The main thing to consider is how much control you need over the milk texture. If you need little or no control over the type of texture (meaning the size of the bubbles) and how wet or dry the texture is (meaning how long it's streamed or agitated for) then most of the electric milk frothers which heat the milk while frothing it using an integrated whisk will be fine.I was heating the milk on the stove in the metal milk pitcher with a thermometer set for 140F,.. the idea was the pitcher would be hot and keep the milk hotter.. but it was still cooler than a steam wand when I was done frothing. I did not try the microwave for heating milk. Both types of textures can be made wetter or drier, though, simply by steaming or agitating for a longer or shorter period and creating more, or less bubbles. Steaming milk is pretty straightforward. It takes a lot of getting used to, training your eye to know when the milk's done, but it's a fairly simple process. I think if you're wanting to create microfoam, so you really need to control the milk texture, you're probably best with one of the manual options if you're not going to get an espresso machine with a steam wand. If you're not concerned with controlling the texture, then the automated milk heater frothers are a lot more convenient. Milk texturing with a Cafetiere
