It's a rare coffee lover who can live his day with a cup of coffee. It’s such a pleasure to wake up in the morning and be invigorated by the aroma of a divine drink that was brewed a few seconds ago. As for coffee with foam, this drink is loved only by true coffee connoisseurs who do not need either cream or sugar, but only need to enjoy every sip of this wonderful and perfect pleasure. This product tones, has a great effect on a person’s cardiovascular system, protects against Alzheimer’s disease, and most importantly, perfectly invigorates in the morning. The recipe for making this drink is very simple: it does not require any coffee machine or special equipment other than the usual Turkish coffee, which is already found in almost all homes. Our article will help you make a wonderful foamy drink at home.
Why does foam appear on coffee?
The appearance of a delicate creamy shell occurs due to several factors: at high pressure, water penetrates into the coffee, thereby breaking down the oils that are in the bean grains, as if enveloping and closing it in tiny air microbubbles.
Also, gas will be released some time after coffee is roasted (usually within 24-72 hours of roasting the coffee beans), so coffee that has previously been freshly roasted may also release some carbon dioxide during extraction.
Coffee foam serves in some way as a lid for coffee, but at the same time it also reliably retains the wonderful aroma of coffee, its precious components, thanks to which the taste of the coffee drink is revealed even more. It is important that the foam itself retains the necessary gases - in fact, more than the liquid itself.
Essentially, coffee foam is a mixture of oils, some sugar and proteins, which in turn form a mini-sphere. Where each bottle of delicate foam contains much more information per cubic milliliter than coffee.
Why is there no foam when brewing coffee?
How to make coffee with foam? Why can't you make foam at home? These and other questions often arise. In fact, everything is simple, the absence can be due to several reasons:
Poor quality raw materials . Only by using fresh and high-quality coffee beans can we get the foam we need. It is formed from air bubbles and essential oils.
Very important! This advice applies to any type of coffee. After all, the main secret of good coffee is the beans.
Grind size. Coarse grinding of coffee beans is not suitable for us, because the foam is obtained only from finely ground raw materials.
Preparations of ground grains. If you decide to save time in the future and grind the beans long before starting to prepare the coffee drink, then I hasten to disappoint you. This option will not give us the necessary coffee foam. It is necessary to process before starting cooking, so I recommend handling each portion separately.
Using high temperature water or tap water. When brewing coffee, use only clean water. If you cannot purify the water yourself, you can use bottled water. It is important that the water is cold, preferably even ice-cold.
Cook over high heat. This is the most common mistake; coffee and high temperatures are not friends! Therefore, turn on low heat, and only in this case will we see the long-awaited coffee foam.
Very important! You need to constantly monitor and stir the coffee so that it does not go beyond the walls of the pot.
Incorrectly selected dishes. The ideal option would be a copper pot with thick walls, a wide bottom and a correspondingly narrow neck.
There is an option for a coffee maker with a steamer. Select the size of the Turks at your discretion.
Coffee selection
Many characteristics of future coffee depend on what raw materials are used in preparation. Of course, it is not worth talking about the fact that it is impossible (and even impossible) to cook it from soluble powder. The type of coffee doesn't really matter. The main thing is that it is fresh and of high quality. Since retail outlets usually separate it by country of origin, it is better to focus on products from Central and South America (Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru). And try to avoid products from India and Indonesia, they are usually of lower quality.
The grains should be approximately the same size and color. Dried or withered ones will not be able to form a thick foam (and the taste will be rancid). Mold completely indicates that the product is unsuitable for consumption. It is much easier to choose ground coffee: it is prepared and roasted specifically for cooking in a Turk. It is best to choose a product with a shelf life of no more than 1 month after roasting, then the foam will be high and dense. Professional baristas recommend using Arabica beans for brewing. It is oily in structure, has a classic soft taste, delicate aroma, and also produces an excellent foam head. In second place in popularity is robusta, which produces a stronger drink. If desired, varieties can be mixed with each other to obtain new flavor combinations.
Factors influencing foam formation
To create a beautiful and fluffy foam, you need to take into account some factors. Here are a few tricks for making foamy coffee at home:
- The formation of foam occurs due to the fact that air bubbles that form during boiling interact with the oils found in the coffee beans.
- The best coffee for foam is a fine grind.
- The result depends on the method of preparing the grains. It is believed that metal dishes with a narrow neck and a wide bottom are best suited.
- If you decide to make cappuccino, keep in mind that the quality of the frothed milk plays a big role. The same applies to latte, macchiato or frappe.
To get the desired foam you will have to try a little, because preparing coffee beans is quite a difficult task, but nevertheless very interesting.
Drink from a coffee machine
A coffee machine is a device that can be programmed. This applies to modern devices, for example, from Bosch. They are capable of grinding grains and making several types of drinks, and have a cappuccino machine for frothing milk. To make good coffee at home, you need to consider the following aspects:
- For one serving of espresso, take 9 grams of finely ground coffee (1 tsp);
- the raw materials are poured into a holder and compacted;
- in 30-50 seconds the espresso will be ready, so if the machine does not know how to warm up the cup, it is better to do it yourself;
- Pod machines take care of the entire manufacturing process, because coffee is placed in pods, and there is no need to measure out the required amount and compact it in a holder.
The mixture of true espresso resembles a thick syrup with thick and fluffy foam. Only a coffee machine does this, because it supplies water under high pressure. There are many options for making an invigorating drink at home, but a real gourmet and coffee lover thinks more extensively. He alone is involved in blending various types of grains, frying them, grinding them to a suitable grind and selecting the most rational proportions for making a wonderful drink. It's not as difficult as it seems, the main thing is to adore coffee and strive for excellence.
Instant coffee with foam.
The rhythm of a person’s life does not always allow him to do what he wants. From time to time, instead of a cup of good natural coffee, you have to limit yourself to its instant analogue. Many people love instant coffee with foam. How to cook it correctly and quickly?
Choosing the right type of coffee
In your opinion, what determines the thickness of the foam? I think everyone understands that the type of coffee plays an important role. Varieties of coffee that are rich in essential oils are considered the best. Coffee foam comes out better if you use the highest quality product.
In this way you can check the quality of the coffee beans you purchased. It is necessary to grind the beans and brew Turkish coffee.
If the foam comes out really fluffy and dense, it means the coffee you bought is really good. The best option for making Turkish coffee is the variety called Arabica.
Its grains contain the largest amount of aromatic oils, which are enriched with beneficial microelements and caffeine. The first grade of coffee beans with proper roasting is considered the highest quality.
Naturally, such coffee will cost several times more. But I guarantee that the result will pleasantly surprise you!
Coffee in a ceramic (clay) Turk: how to brew
One of the innovations used in making coffee is ceramic Turks.
They are made from clay and undergo a long heat treatment process called firing. As a result, the surface of the vessel is covered with a very dense film, reminiscent of sintered glass. Unlike copper, the thermal conductivity of ceramics is significantly less important, which causes differences in the preparation of coffee in it. A ceramic pot takes much longer to heat up and cool down. Therefore, it is necessary to make appropriate adjustments to the technology for preparing the drink in a copper pot, described above. Under no circumstances should the foam reach the edge when boiling, otherwise all the foam will end up on the stove. Experts say that the taste of coffee brewed in this way is ideal, devoid of any foreign odors.
Ceramic Turk is not afraid of high temperatures. Be prepared for the fact that purchasing it will cost you twice or three times as much. Its main drawback is fragility. Therefore, shock loads should be avoided.
Grind the beans right before preparing the drink.
Do you want to learn how to make incredibly aromatic, delicious coffee, and even with foam!? Then I suggest you familiarize yourself with some rules.
To brew truly delicious coffee, it is best to grind the coffee beans shortly before preparing your drink. If you are not comfortable processing coffee so often, I recommend grinding in small quantities in advance. Prepare for a couple of days.
This way you will preserve the unique taste of coffee, and the oils in the coffee will not have time to evaporate. After all, they are what give your coffee its aroma. A particularly important factor is the maximum concentration of the necessary oils.
You only need one minute to process and grind the beans. At the same time, you will notice the high quality of yours and accurately evaluate the result of your efforts!
Buying instant coffee is a bad idea, since most of the aromatic oils have already been extracted from it, even despite the tight vacuum packaging.
If you have already purchased ground coffee, then there is no need to rush to throw it in the trash. You just need to know the storage rules. Let me remind you that the main enemy of coffee is air! Combining, these two elements begin to quickly oxidize and coffee gradually loses its quality.
Therefore, I recommend storing ground coffee in an airtight container without access to air. It is necessary to close it tightly and store it in a dark place with low humidity in the air. The ideal option would be a cabinet in the kitchen.
It is necessary to grind the grains without leaving any residue. That is, to brew 1 cup of coffee with a volume of 100 ml, you need to process one teaspoon. We recommend grinding in 2-3 passes, 30 seconds each. every. Don't forget to let the coffee grinder cool down a bit. To avoid overheating of the motor and increase the service life of your assistant.
Secrets of making cream
Unpleasant notes in the taste, flaws in the appearance of the drink - these signs are evidence that the drink was prepared incorrectly. If the foam on the coffee is not dense with gaps, its thickness is less than two millimeters, and has a whitish tint, then the drink is not suitable for consumption. To get the perfect espresso, you need to take into account some nuances.
Let's learn how to make foam on coffee:
- Crema is formed during the release of essential oils from coffee beans and air bubbles that appear on the surface of the liquid under the influence of temperature. High quality grains are saturated with more aromatic oils than a spoiled product.
- Grinding the coffee beans should be done during the espresso preparation process, and not long before. This will result in a delicate foam with a nutty tint.
- Choose an espresso pot with a thin neck. The greater the difference between the circumference of the bottom and the top of the container, the better the cream will be. There is just an unpleasant moment - in such containers the drink is more likely to run away.
- If you are preparing espresso with sugar, then before diluting the coffee powder and sugar with water, mix the bulk ingredients and heat slightly. Already during this process, a light foam will appear.
Creams with small reddish spots and a tiger pattern are considered high quality. Such external signs are common; much depends on the blend and the quality of the coffee beans.
The perfect espresso crema leaves a rim on the surface of the coffee glass.
The water should be soft and cold
Why cold? Why is this necessary? Why can’t you pour water from the tap?.. These and many other questions may arise in most people’s minds when they see such a headline......
It turns out that clean, soft water is best for making coffee. Because if the water is hard, it may affect the quality of your drink. In hard water you can observe a high concentration of different types of salts. They are the ones who distort the taste and quality of the drink.
Many people use distilled water when cooking. But we do not recommend repeating this, since most often there is nothing useful left in such water. It will fit perfectly with your iron. Such water can be called sterile. It is best to use bottled water. If you use it only for making coffee, it will be quite economical.
Filtered water will also work.
There are 2 types of coffee preparation:
- Classic way . When preparing ground coffee powder, we pour hot water and a reaction occurs in which all the necessary substances are released and we can enjoy excellent coffee.
- "Cold" method . For this method, you need fine or medium-ground grains, any container that is convenient for you, and cold, even ice-cold, water. Your next steps are very simple. Now the coffee needs to brew. This process will take you much longer. But it’s quite unusual and in my opinion it’s worth a try. You will need to wait 10 to 24 hours for it to fully cook. The time period depends on the volume you want to receive.
Why can't you fill it with water at room temperature? Cold water contains a large amount of oxygen, which in turn enhances the aroma of coffee. If you use already warm water, then the beneficial substances simply will not have time to reveal themselves during cooking. Cold water allows these substances to interact longer. At the same time getting a rich aroma and pleasant taste.
Put sugar not in a cup, but in a cup
I'll tell you a little secret that will help you make unforgettable foamy coffee at home. As we know, when brewing Turkish or Oriental coffee, it is customary to put sugar immediately into the Turk, and not into the cup. This allows you to dissolve the sugar as much as possible, so that you don’t have to stir it in the cup afterwards.
If you put sugar in a cup, you will need to stir it. This, firstly, can spoil the foam that we have been waiting for, and secondly, thick matter will rise from the bottom, which will begin to settle unpleasantly in the mouth.
If you brew coffee for several cups at once, keep in mind that the quantity has increased and add more sugar to the drink than usual. Remember that adding sugar to coffee after brewing is not recommended.
Cooking procedure
To prepare the drink you need a Turk, water and ground coffee. The latter should be finely ground, almost to dust. The raw materials are poured into the cezve and filled with water: 2-3 teaspoons per 100-150 ml of liquid. The resulting mixture should sit for a minute. This is required to complete the “blooming” process, that is, the end of the formation of air bubbles. Then the Turk is placed on low heat. Strong heating will spoil the taste of coffee and make it rancid. Next you will need to wait 3-5 minutes until foam begins to form. It is better not to leave the stove, otherwise it may “escape”. As soon as the foam starts to rise, you can turn off the heat. The drink must be left for 1 minute until it opens completely. And after that you can pour it into a cup. As mentioned earlier, the dishes will need to be prepared: first douse them with hot water. And you can enjoy the unique taste of your favorite espresso.
Errors in preparing the drink
Many lovers of an invigorating drink wonder why there is no foam when brewing coffee in a Turk. This happens if the cooking recipe is violated or the ingredients are selected incorrectly. The main factor in foam formation is the choice of suitable raw materials and utensils. If the proportion of coffee powder and water is not met, then you will not get a foamy head . Or it will be unstable, uneven and thin. A pot of non-standard design can also cause a lack of foam, and the taste of the drink is unlikely to please you.
Stale raw materials are not sufficiently saturated with essential oils. Accordingly, during heat treatment, not enough of them are released to synthesize with oxygen and form foam. To activate the process, stir the drink at the beginning of preparation. Coffee beans need to be purchased fresh and stored properly. Otherwise, they will dry out, harden, and may become moldy. Of course, it is recommended to purchase from trusted suppliers who guarantee product quality.
Coffee recipe with lush foam
I think many people wondered: “How do they make such thick foam in coffee?” I also want to learn how to do this at home.” Did you want to? So we'll teach you!
To prepare we will need:
- Turk (preferably made of copper)
- Medium or fine ground coffee
- Tea spoon
- Milk
- Microwave (can also be heated on a regular stove)
So, let's start preparing your favorite coffee with lush foam. First, you need to brew the most ordinary black coffee. After that, we pour milk into 1/3 of a glass and put it in the microwave (no need to bring it to a boil. We put it in for no more than 1 minute.).
After we take the mug out of the microwave, close the cup tightly with the lid and try to shake the milk several times so that we get milk foam this way.
Another option is to whisk our warm milk until a thick foam forms. When your milk foam is ready, carefully and slowly we pour the foam into a cup. You need to make sure that the foam does not flow over the edges of the mug.
In order to create an interesting pattern, you need to leave a small amount of coffee and, after our wonderful foam is already in the mug, very carefully pouring it in a small stream, draw any pattern.
What can you add to coffee?
During the cooking process, nothing should be added to the drink. At all. It is better to add all sweeteners and toppings into the foam or into the coffee itself at the end, when it is ready. The taste of the drink is best combined with sugar (especially cane sugar), honey, vanilla, cinnamon or chocolate. Also very popular are milk and cream, which significantly soften its taste. Professional baristas sprinkle the foam with grated almonds, cashews or hazelnuts. In principle, you can add anything you want. The main thing is that the additional ingredient does not interrupt the taste and aroma of the main drink.
Coffee shares the leading position in popularity among drinks in the world, along with tea. It can also be prepared at home in 4-5 minutes. However, not everyone can achieve the classic look of espresso with thick, long-lasting foam. It is important to strictly follow the recipe, select all the necessary components correctly and not deviate from the cooking rules. And then you can enjoy your favorite drink every day.
Oriental coffee with foam
Oriental coffee is a favorite recipe for all coffee lovers. In the East, guests are treated like Gods. And they don't usually make coffee there either. When preparing coffee, your whole soul is put into it.
Coffee still-life in warm tone from a retro subjects
Oriental coffee is known all over the world. It became famous for its unique taste, aroma and speed of preparation. According to ancient traditions, coffee is prepared in a Turkish pot (preferably made of copper) in hot sand.
The cooking process can take from 10 minutes to 1.5 hours. As you already understand, a coffee machine is not suitable for this recipe. You need to stock up on regularity and calm. To follow the sequence of stages.
So, I will tell you some basic secrets of making Turkish coffee.
- Use only fresh, high quality beans. Arabica beans are perfect; the degree of roasting does not play a special role. It is necessary to grind right before starting cooking. The grind should be medium, but preferably fine, so that the grounds do not squeak on your teeth when you use them.
- The water must be clean. It is advisable to use bottled water or filtered water.
- An important rule when making oriental coffee. It is necessary to pour cold water into the Turk so that the grains can open and the aroma and rich taste of essential oils awaken.
- Sugar must be added to the pot and not to the mug. If sugar is added directly to the mug, then our long-awaited foam will
- If desired, you can add ground black pepper, ginger, cinnamon, or cocoa.
How to mix layers correctly
The foam whipped with a mixer or cappuccino maker is carefully added to the coffee. Pour the drink into a cup and spoon out the foam made in a mixer or in any other way.
The foam will settle slightly and the coffee will acquire a delicate taste.
There is another way. First, whisk the cappuccino or latte foam into a glass. Then add the drink.
Pour the coffee slowly over the wall or knife.
Preheat the cup under running hot water - the foam will retain its fluffiness longer.
The above methods are used regardless of where the drink was brewed - in a coffee maker, coffee machine, Turk, or even a saucepan.
Coffee with foam in a coffee maker
Today there are a huge number of coffee machines on the product market. For every taste and color, for every occasion. But not everyone knows how to properly use the acquired equipment. Therefore, most often your coffee preparations at home will disappoint you.
Therefore, in order to avoid such problems, I will tell you a few preparation secrets that will help you get the desired coffee.
- It is not enough to read the instructions for the coffee maker. The most important ingredient is high-quality and fresh coffee. The best varieties are considered to be Arabica (which gives a unique taste) and Robusta (which gives strength and bitterness).
- The grinding of coffee beans is also an important factor. I use coarse grinding when brewing in a geyser unit. Medium is ideal for all types of coffee. Small – ideal for a drip coffee maker.
- You need to know the dosage for different types of coffee. For example, a couple of cups of ground coffee are added to one cup of espresso.
There are different types of coffee makers:
· Drip
Became very popular in the 2000s. The device consists of a glass flask and a heated stand. To prepare, you need a filter, ground coffee and water.
The process occurs when the liquid is heated, where the resulting steam rises and penetrates the filter where it passes through the coffee powder. And a thin stream flows into the mug.
· Carob
Making your favorite espresso in this type of coffee maker is quite simple. You need to fill the liquid compartment with water.
Next, pour ground coffee into the cone and compact it. We turn on the device and wait for our coffee.
Geyser
This device is very popular in Italy. The shape of the unit is similar to an hourglass. There are 2 compartments, with 2 filter compartments. Before cooking, the lower and upper tanks are washed and dried. Pour water into the lower compartment and pour powder into the upper one.
When heated, the liquid turns into steam and passes upward under pressure through the filter. You get fresh and aromatic coffee. Which will create cheerfulness and energy for the whole day.
Capsule
This is the easiest option for making coffee. Even a child can handle it.
Ease of preparation is provided by capsules that need to be purchased and simply inserted into the machine before each preparation.
·Combined
A distinctive feature of this coffee machine. That she can cook in two ways. So to speak, 2 in 1. Also, such a device is often equipped with a coffee grinder, which is an important component. To start the cooking process, you just need to choose a method; it can be a drip or carob option.
Next, you just need to add coffee beans, pour water into the tank and turn on the device. After some time, you will be able to enjoy your favorite drink.
Instant coffee with foam
If you have ever asked the question “How to make coffee without a coffee machine?” then this article is especially for you. Instant coffee is a mixture of regular ground coffee beans (about 20%) and flavorings (they allow you to make the taste as similar as possible to regular black coffee).
Many people love instant coffee. But most people don’t know whether this drink is harmful to our body? People think that if you can drink black coffee no more than 2 cups a day, then you can drink instant coffee as much as you like. But this is not true at all.
For comparison, let's take identical cups of coffee and try to change the amount of caffeine in them. The first cup will contain black coffee, and the second will contain instant coffee. I think the result will shock you a little. In the first mug with black coffee - 80 ml per cup, in instant coffee - 60 ml per cup.
So what could this small difference mean? Yes, there is no doubt that instant coffee has a little less caffeine. But you must understand that instant coffee has a stronger effect on the nervous system, gastrointestinal tract (since the acidity is slightly higher), and increases blood pressure (for this reason it is contraindicated for hypertensive patients).
In general, you can drink instant coffee, but you need to take precautions to maintain a healthy body.
Secrets of good foam
This simple recipe has its own features that will make your work easier and improve the outcome.
- Granulated sugar should be as fine as possible. Instead of sweet sand, you can use powder. It is more likely to be ground, less effort will be needed to obtain an even mass.
- If you decide to take powder, you will need a little more of it than sugar - 3 teaspoons of powder per 1 teaspoon of coffee. Just a little bit of water is needed, just a teaspoon.
- It is necessary to grind sugar and coffee quickly and vigorously, otherwise you will not get a homogeneous thick mass, from which foam will later appear.
- You can use a blender and other devices for grinding if you are preparing several servings of coffee and you have a large volume of coffee and sugar consistency. A small portion per cup simply does not allow the use of mixers and blenders.
- The ideal choice is not granulated, but the most common, powdered coffee. The freeze-dried one requires more effort to get a homogeneous mixture; its granules dissolve worse.
Foam made from instant coffee and sweet sand is perfect for decorating confectionery products, for example, coffee muffins.
Coffee with foam in Turk
In my opinion, coffee has long conquered the whole world. There is no such person on Earth who does not know and have not tried coffee. For some, coffee is already like a ritual. There are many types and varieties of coffee on the market that can please anyone.
The classic recipe for making Turkish coffee is Turkish coffee. A Turk is a vessel that has a wide bottom, thick walls and a narrow neck. This form was not invented without reason. Turks made of copper are considered the best. The recipe is quite simple and requires a little time and desire.
So, to brew coffee in a Turk you will need:
- Turk
- 1-2 heaped teaspoons of ground coffee.
- Sugar (optional)
You need to pour cold water into the Turk and put it on low heat. Next, add 1-2 teaspoons of coffee and stir until coffee foam appears. Then remove the Turk from the stove for a couple of minutes and put it back on the fire until the foam rises.
Important! The foam should not be allowed to boil away, otherwise the essential oils that are inside the coffee drink will begin to split and the coffee will lose its taste.
Cooking rules: theory
Cooking does not mean boiling
The term “brew coffee” is firmly established in everyday life. But you can’t boil the liquid.
Temperatures above 100 degrees deprive the drink of taste and smell and dissolve fats. Some of them evaporate with steam, others turn into organic acid, which gives coffee a chemical taste. And the foam becomes loose and tasteless.
How foam is formed
Italians call coffee foam "crema". The name has caught on among baristas and ordinary lovers of the aromatic drink.
Foam is a complex of coffee bean oils and small air bubbles mixed with water. When heated, essential oils and fats separate from the solid and turn into a thin film. When the temperature rises, they mix with air and take on the familiar appearance of cream.
Foam takes a long time to form, as described in the article “How long to brew coffee on the stove and in a Turkish coffee pot.”
Interesting! How to brew coffee with milk in Turkish
Esters are released at temperatures from 88 to 96 degrees. If it is less, they will not be able to extract; if it is higher, they will burn out.
Therefore, prepare the drink over low heat, giving it time to open properly and acquire a thick, delicate cream. A properly prepared infusion has a stable foam. It remains as a rim on the mug when the coffee is drunk.
What layers does the drink consist of?
If you brew coffee in a Turk with foam correctly, it will consist of three parts:
- Sediment or grounds - solid remains of grains.
- The “body” or the drink itself is an aqueous extract that is released from the grains when heated. It preserves the flavor and aromatic substances of the plant.
- Cream is an emulsion of liquid, oils and air that retains its fragrance.
The finished drink should be poured slowly and in a thin stream into a cup to maintain the ideal structure. This way the foam will not mix with the liquid, and there will be little sediment at the bottom of the mug.
Coffee with milk foam
To prepare coffee with milk foam at home, you need to heat the Turk on the stove. Then add water (at room temperature), add 2-3 teaspoons of ground coffee and stir for 2 minutes over medium heat. When you see coffee foam appear, remove the coffee from the heat and leave for 2-3 minutes. Meanwhile, you need to pour the milk into a small jar with a tight-fitting lid and heat the milk in the microwave.
The milk should be warm, not hot!!!
Then bring the coffee to a boil again. Shake the heated milk thoroughly in the jar and carefully pour it into a coffee mug.

What and how to beat
Fork
The easiest way to make cappuccino is in a coffee machine. If you don’t have it, we’ll make do with a microwave and a fork.
Interesting! How to brew coffee in a saucepan on the stove
Heat the milk in the microwave for 30 seconds, pour into a bowl with high walls. Beat with a quick fork motion at a 20-degree angle.
This method will not be able to form a fluffy foam for a cappuccino or latte, as in coffee shops in Moscow. But after a minute the milk will become airy and slightly foamy.
Shaker
Shake milk foam for coffee using a shaker. Pour 80 ml of cold milk into the container. Shake the shaker vigorously for a minute.
Then microwave it for 30 seconds at 800 watts to remove the bubbles. The shaker produces a dense, thick foam.
The device does not have to be thoroughly washed after each use. Just rinse with water.
The advantage is ease of operation and autonomy. No need to insert batteries or look for an outlet.
Hand whisk
This device is also used to prepare milk froth. How to do it? Very simple.
Heat 50-55 ml of milk and pour into a bowl. Place the whisk in the container, hold it tightly in your fist and begin to vigorously whisk the liquid. After 40-60 seconds, a lush, bubbly foam forms.
French press
Now about how to froth milk in a French press. Pour the required amount into the flask (maximum 1/3 of the volume of the device).
Move the piston down and up for a minute. Then quickly lower it down.
Lightly tap the bottom of the flask on your palm to remove large bubbles.
A lush, dense milk foam is whipped in a French press.
Manual cappuccino maker
Make fluffy foam using a cappuccino maker - a small mixer. It consists of a long rubberized handle with a tiny whisk at the end.
The device is compact and runs on two batteries. It is not disassembled before washing after use.
When preparing foam with a manual cappuccino maker, take heated milk. The whipping time does not exceed 20-25 seconds.
Pour 50 ml of milk into a glass, lower the whisk down.
Turn on the device and make circular movements around the walls of the container. After 10 seconds, slowly lift the whisk up.
Once foam has formed, turn off the device and remove from the glass.
If the device whips slowly, change the batteries.
The advantage of a manual cappuccino machine is high speed and low price. The average cost of the device is 360 rubles.
