How to make the perfect coffee with a milk frother

Why a milk frother is indispensable in your kitchen

The pleasure of a frothy coffee is no longer reserved for coffee shops or baristas. You don't even need the latest technologies or expensive coffee machines. With a simple French press or a milk frother you get the same result. Especially the method with the electric milk frother is the easiest and gives the best results. A milk frother is therefore an essential tool for the true coffee connoisseur.

Choosing the right milk

Want a frothy coffee that can hold the weight of even a cookie? It’s possible! But first, you need to understand the factors that influence milk frothing.

Milk consists of 87% water, 3% protein, 3% fat and 5% lactose. This ratio is ideal. That is why we recommend whole milk, not semi-skimmed or skimmed milk. Lactose-free is also an option. If you use plant-based milk, make sure the ratio of the rest of the components is correct. Almond milk seems to meet this requirement best.

This all has to do with a physicochemical effect called emulsion. Certain proteins and fat molecules in milk act as emulsifiers. This keeps the foam intact for longer.

5 Ways to Make Frothy Coffee in Your Kitchen

The most effective method is the milk frother. But here are some other ways:

⦁ Frothy coffee with a French press: Add hot milk to the pot and move the plunger up and down vigorously.
⦁ Create foam with an electric or hand mixer: Place the hot milk in a blender and mix on low speed.
⦁ Using a hand mixer: Beat the milk vigorously until frothy.
⦁ Making froth in a microwave: Shake the milk vigorously in a sealable jar until frothy, then heat it in the microwave.
⦁ Electric Milk Frother: This tool is specially designed for frothing milk. Simply pour in the milk, press the button and within seconds you have perfect froth.

The best technique: use an electric milk frother

The first four techniques mentioned may not always be perfect. The foam may look perfect at first, but it will not last long. This is due to air bubbles that are too big. An electric milk frother is the best way to get consistently perfect foam without spending a lot of money. What types of coffee can you use a milk frother for?
