Milk Frothing for Beginners

Too complicated

Not mentioned, you should hear the hissing sound at the begining, for a couple of seconds. Then the hissing sound should return briefly for a moment before the milk level goes up. The foam should never be with bubbles or be visible too much. The foam gets created right after you're done. Yes the thicker the foam the better but it should never look like a sponge or a detergent foam. Little tips that make a whole latte of change.

Can you make a video about types of milk and their outcome when frothing?

Yesterday I bought myself a Turk and ground coffee .... so I’m crisp in the morning )

Mark you are special man .

Hi Mark,
I have a new gaggia classic. I am using non dairy milk, lately oat milk. I will admit I have been winging it until I saw this video. Any special tips for non-dairy milks?
Love the new studio.
Thanks

Outstanding presentation. Thanks so much! Perfect voice, too :-)

The soap suggestion for practice is golden, big thanks!

What's the model of your red cappuccino machine behind you?

Fun fact: if you use dish soap instead of milk for your latte, you cup will remain clean entire time, so you can skip cleaning mug step.

Dear Mark and co, thanks, is a 350ml frother big enough for two 200ml cappuccino's?

How you froth fat free milk, would added vanilla hurt

thanks for the education 🔥

Hey Mark. The best temperature for the coffee is 140°F. But after 160°F it starts loosing it's sweetness. Is it ok to froth up to 160°F or 165°F and then wait until it cools up a bit to give it to the customer? Will it recover its sweetness if it cools up a bit?

It's your fault I drink coffee the way I do , it's your fault that I froth milk, and yes it's your fault I eat very rich chocolate morsels with my cappuccino and latte before a gym workout. ☕☕🥰🥰❤❤

Thankyou for the help! Just started training as a professional barista and this video is great at letting me tweak my technique when not using the steam wand on the Astoria perla sae 3! Thankyou for the video!

I just got a Gaggia Classic. Not impressed with this machine at all. It's a very average espresso machine and has some notable design flaws.

Thanks Mark, i am a new member, inspite of following all the steps, im not getting proper groth. Any help?

Marc is there a way to froth milf without a machine?

Thanks

Great video! Any similar but with manual frothers?

Now I've got the point, thank you for the brilliant explanation.

I have a DeLonghi 860 and have not been able to make the milk smooth enough for the art. I've tried everything. IS IT THE MACHINE OR ME.? I can't get the milk to make the art. Does the milk for the art always come at the end of the pour? What if you have too much milk for the cup and getting to the end will overflow the cup? Help...

Hi there like they video l become an barista but cannot stin the milk couldnt make crean the milk others tips

I make coffee for myself and usually just add a splash of milk (gibraltar/cortado/macchiatto), and I find myself either wasting a lot of milk or having too little milk to steam effectively. Are there any small milk pitchers that would work for steaming just a couple ounces of milk?

Thank you so much for your tips. I tried to forth milk with automatic wand from Delonghi machine it's still don't get good milk for latte now always get big bubble and some time dont get forth from milk just same i boil milk. Don't know how deep i need to put wand in milk to make it get good enough air😔

Nooo way...bad.
To much talking for nothing.

Probably a very basic question. But what is the biggest difference between the frothing done with the machine as the one you described here and for example a basic battery powered hand wand?

I’m using a Keurig machine. It’s just a pitcher with a rotary plastic inside the pitcher that froths the milk.
I can’t get it at the right consistency. At the bottom is thin and on top foamy. Help needed. 😂

Nice tips

I’m interested to know why some people recommend 1.5oz of liquid for 18g but you recommend 2oz. If both take 25-30 seconds to pull, what is the impact on flavor and viscosity of the coffee? I just pulled my very first shot today so I am new to all this. Thanks.

Hi Marc. How do you know how much mil is required to make a small, medium or large coffee (any style) without putting them to waste? If there is an order for one large latte and on medium cappuccino how does the amount of milk work?

Thank u very much

The las to it about automatic wands not making good microfoam was upsetting since I work with one at dunkin. I’ve still been able to make latte art with microfoam on rare occasions with a automatic

Why is milk not heating up when I froth?

Marc, still having trouble with latte art. Religiously following your videos no luck! I am sure if someone experience saw what I was doing, they would know right away what I am doing wrong. Have a DeLonghi EC 685 using a pressurized basket. Have tried whole milk, Have tried removing the outer wand. No luck (:

Should I use fresh milk, full cream milk, or low fat milk?

How to create more foam for the macchiato

So I should try to spin the milk after it forms foam? Am I getting that right?

I was having problem making froth at first, now i have to thick of a froth. What do you recommend so I will just have the right froth?

What do you think about the $50-100 milk frothers that you sell? Can they hold a candle to these steam wand frothers?

Yes sir I have a question

Great👌

how long does the milk take to heat?

I got Delonghi magnifica s smart espresso machine when i frothing milk with steam wand making very nice micro foam on top and no big bubbles but under the foam layer milk is not rich and creamy it’s like when i took it from the fridge just hotter i’m sure there is something wrong but i don’t know what! Any advice please

And now I’ve learned I have a low cost machine! Thank you for at least teaching me that!

finally I found a video that shows exactly what I'm looking for without all the extra fluff. Thank you!

Thank you so much, sir

And all of this is free? Unbelievable. Thanks again to Whole Latte Love and Marc!
