This is probably a stupid question but where is the air you are adding to the milk coming from? The steam wand injects steam which is water vapour. This will condense to water as soon as the temperature is
@EmileeBryant2 жыл бұрын
Its a brilliant question!! I do see beginners struggle with this concept so I usually omit it altogether. But what's happening is the force of the steam is pushing the milk away and leaving an air gap where the milk was. That air gets mixed into the milk and when the whey proteins β-Lactoglobulin starts to denature from heat, the hydrophobic end of the proteins essentially encased the air bubbles in the milk.

I’ve been a barista for 5 years and this was the best tutorial in regards to steaming milk that I’ve ever seen, or trained to do. Explaining in depth the reasoning/science behind it made it so much easier to remember. I hate when people don’t explain the “why” to things and expect me to care more about applying those lessons😅

This deserves a lot more views... The only thing missing is how these mistakes will result in the milk. Usually when a newbie ask why their latte art is bad, the advices are mostly "you steam too long", "you steam too hot" or "get a better machine". Looking at the milk will provide intel that it's caused by wrong pitcher size / milk volume, stretching too long/short, wrong wand positioning etc.

Sure! That’s helpful way to get a foam that’s dense and workable. The reason I try not to recommend it universally is because mooooost people over aerate their milk so letting it sit is often the opposite of what is needed. Granted both methods are great! I personally never let my milk sit but it doesn’t hurt the art so long as you swirl it again before pouring.
