Want to know the one secret to silky smoth microfoam for your flat white or cappuccino coffee?

21/6/2012

0 Comments

 
Let me start by saying, I mostly enjoy my coffee black, so I rarely need to reach for milk, but when I do, or when I see others preparing milk for their cappuccino or flat white, this one single tip almost always improves the texture of the milk, and the flavour of the coffee.

Do you remember that sound of milk being frothed by some actor on TV? Its sounds a lot like "Pssshhhht...Pssshhhht...Pssshhhht..." as they plung the tip of the steam wand in and out of the milk pitcher. That same motion can be seen at most non-cafe restaurants as they prepare their milk pitcher of milk for your flat white. The problem with all that plunging and action, is that you end up with a very bubbly and soap-suds like consistency to your milk. It ends up being very thick on top from bubbles, and very thin and watery underneath. When you addd that to you your espresso base, you end up with what I like to refer to as a thin cup of coffee.

The secret to producing great microfoam, which is realy what you want, lots and lots of tiny bubbles all through your milk, making a thick and silky smooth texture is to "steam the milk with the tip only gently breaking the surface until the milik gets to 30c (close to body temp by touch), and then to plunge the steam wans INTO the milk pitcher, and if you can, try to make a whirlpool effect" (be careful not to make too much of a whirlpool, or you risk sucking in more air, creating that Pssshhhht...Pssshhhht... noise and fluffing up your milk too much).

At first attempt, it may not seem like this method will work, but it will, and with a little practice, you will be producing delicious silky smooth milk to pour into your coffee base. When you pour microfoam, you will instantly notice a difference in the pour, and the sound of the pour - it appears thicker, and more consistently textured.

Let me know what you think in the comments or if this method has helped you.

James will be driving the Endevour Car Rally to raise $500,000 for people with a disability On 9  July, the charity 'Love Boat' - a Ford LTD, built in 1978 will depart from Toowoomba Queensland, and hopefully, will travel 4,000 kms over 10 days through western Queensland and North Queensland into the heart of the Gulf of Carpentaria, before traveling back to Yeppoon.

The car and its crew will not be alone, for this is the 25th year of The Great Endeavour. Over the past 24 years, this unique event has witnessed people from all walks of life participate - husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, mates, girlfriends and the never ending list goes on.

Participants have one common cause - helping Endeavour Foundation raise as much money and awareness as possible, to provide opportunities for people with a disabilities.

Explore the web-site http://charityloveboat.net to learn about the event, the Endeavour Foundation, the car and its crew, the individuals and firms that have generously provided sponsorship to cover fuel and other running costs, and how you too can help us all reach the target of $500,000 raised for the Endeavour Foundation.

And don't forget to visit again between July 9th and 19th; telecommunications permitting we'll provide updates as to our progress on the Great Endeavour.

We are proud to announce the arrival of a new Australian product to Bay Beans - Bondi Chai. 

A blend of comfort spices with the added richness of vanilla and the natural warmth and sweetness of honey. Makes 25 serves. 

Bondi Chai is a seriously delicious, creamy-smooth blend of milk, black tea, honey, vanilla and exotic 'comfort' spices which tastes superb and is 'almost addictive' - usually served latte-style. Because it’s a powder, Bondi Chai is very versatile and easy to use and stores in its foil packs for at least 2 years.  'Chai' is the generic word for tea in many Asian and middle-east countries. In India it is a brewed, spiced, milky tea that was created for the Kings of India and has since become ‘India’s gift to the world’!

Bondi Chai is Australia’s own Gold Medal winning chai tea latte. It was created and is blended in Australia and is carving a favoured place in our café culture. Grab a bag at the Bay Beans store. If your a cafe owner, or business, contact us for wholesale offers.
