How to prepare 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 only 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 lover.

 

Choosing the right milk

Do you want a frothy coffee that can even hold the weight of a cookie? It is possible! But first, you need to understand which factors 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 other components is correct. Almond milk seems to meet this best.

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

5 ways to prepare 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: Put hot milk in the pot and move the plunger energetically up and down.
⦁ Create foam with an electric or hand mixer: Put the hot milk in a blender and mix at a low speed.
⦁ Use a manual mixer: Whisk the milk vigorously until there is enough foam.
⦁ Making foam in a microwave: Shake the milk vigorously in a sealable jar until foam forms and then heat it in the microwave.
⦁ Electric milk frother: This tool is specially designed for frothing milk. Simply pour the milk in, press the button, and within seconds you have perfect foam.

The best technique: use an electric milk frother

The first four mentioned techniques may not always be perfect. The foam may initially look perfect but does not last long. This is due to air bubbles that are too large. An electric milk frother is the best way to consistently get perfect foam without spending a lot of money. For which types of coffee can you use a milk frother?
