The KitchenCraft Le'Xpress is undoubtedly a higher powered and nicer looking version of these early hand frothers, but they're basically the same thing, and I actually think they're great. They're very simple to use, they're small and portable, and as well as using them to create milk froth for cappuccino, lattes & so on. As with the Bodum manual frother, you have to heat the milk yourself but it gives you some level of control over the texture too – and it's a super cheap option. Steam injection is usually done with the steam wand on espresso machines, and this is the method that you'll see baristas using in coffee shops. Agitation is the texturing method used by the majority of stand-alone milk frothers, including the cafetiere method I'll discuss shortly. You don't have any control over the amount of foam with this frother, it heats and froths at the same time, so you'll get milk at around 60-65C, however it comes in terms of froth. If you like your milk foam fairly stiff, for the more old school cappuccino, then you'll probably be happy with this. Severin Induction Milk Frother
You want three things to intermingle if you're looking for the best foam and to produce the best latte art," he says. "Sugar, proteins, and fats." Regarding non-dairy options, Asi prefers oat milk. He suggests looking for milk alternatives that say barista blend, barista friendly, or barista edition on them to know that they are suitable for coffee drinks. After about 65C, you start to burn off the lactose, the natural sugars in milk, and this is why milk heated beyond this starts to taste weird. A flat white, latte, or cappuccino made with almost boiled milk is awful, in my humble opinion. The first kind of milk foam created was what we know as cappuccino foam, big bubbled foam, and what many people don't realize is that this was first created to mimic the whipped cream in the Viennese Kapuziner Kaffee.Steaming is done with a steam wand, putting milk in a jug, and inserting a steam wand – usually, although not always, attached to an espresso machine. I think this is probably just down to getting the hang of it. I'm sure if I jumped on a Kawasaki Ninja H2 (0-60 in approx 3 seconds) given that I'm not used to riding motorbikes, it probably wouldn't end well. At least the only negative from using too powerful a hand whisk is that you might end up wearing your milk for a while until you're able to handle the power. Golde also saves customers the hassle of hunting for batteries, as the Superwhisk uses a convenient USB charger to stay juiced. All you have to do to clean the whisk is spin it in soapy water for a few seconds and then let it dry. 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.
A milk carafe connects via a small tube, and this allows the Barista TS Smart to serve up a range of milk-based coffees at the touch of a button. Simply choose your drink and the Melitta grinds, brews, steams and pours the results into your cup – it’s a digital barista on your kitchen worktop.
In more recent (but even harder to actually verify) history, someone somewhere down under (I'll let Australia and New Zealand argue this one between them) started making a smaller bubbled milk foam to make the Flat White. From what I can gather, the term “Flat White” was already being used by this time simply as a menu abbreviation of “Coffee, white, flat”– but it then evolved at a later time to be produced with this “microfoam”, a texture made by creating smaller bubbles. This is basically the Lavazza A Modo Mio version of the Nespresso Aeroccino. By the way, did you know Nespresso and Lavazza A Modo Mio were invented by the same guy?
