The Secret Behind Creamy, Frothy Coffee: A Guide to Milk Frothing

Adding frothy milk to coffee is a simple way to elevate your at-home brew, creating
creamy lattes and cappuccinos. The secret to great froth lies in the temperature and
type of milk. Whole milk produces the creamiest texture, while plant-based options like
oat or almond milk can also froth well with the right technique. For best results, heat
your milk to around 150°F and use a steam wand or handheld frother. Remember, for
lattes, aim for a velvety microfoam, while cappuccinos require more airy, foamy milk. A
little practice goes a long way toward perfecting your frothing technique.
