Picking Your Dairy: Which Type Works Best?

Your choice of dairy plays a significant role when learning how to steam milk in an espresso machine. Here are some tips for getting the perfect microfoam:

• Consider alternative milks. If you’re lactose intolerant or vegan, there are many alternative milks available that can be used for steaming. Soy milk, almond milk, and oat milk can all produce good results, but keep in mind that they may require some experimentation to get the right texture and flavor.
• Use whole milk. Whole milk contains more fat than skimmed or semi-skimmed milk, which makes it easier to create a creamy and rich microfoam.
• Opt for high-quality dairy products. The quality of your dairy product can significantly affect the taste and texture of your microfoam. Choose fresh, high-quality milk from a reputable source.

Finding Balance: Temperature and Texture

Achieving the right temperature and texture while steaming requires practice, but following these steps can help you master the technique:

• Hold the steam wand just below the surface of the milk. Move it in a circular motion, creating a vortex. This helps incorporate air into the milk and creates a smooth and creamy microfoam.
• Start with good quality milk. Whole milk is often recommended for its richness and ability to produce a creamy microfoam. Avoid ultra-pasteurized milk as it can be less suitable for frothing.
• Warm the milk to around 60–70 °C (140–158 °F). This is a good starting point for most types of milk. Warming the milk slightly before steaming can make it easier to foam evenly.
