MAKE CAPPUCCINO AT HOME

Milk foam is an essential ingredient for fine cappuccinos and lattes. At Nespresso we use two methods to froth milk, the frothing and steaming method.
Frothed milk is different in texture than steamed milk, but both methods make for a delicious, creamy cappuccino or latte.

OpschuimenFROTHING-METHOD
  • With the frothing method, the milk is aerated by a fast "rotating metal spring or plastic beater"
  • The milk is heated as it is whipped, resulting in a light texture and airy foam.
  • The Aerroccino Milk Frothers and Barista Recipe Maker machine use the frothing method.
MORE INFORMATION
OpschuimenSTEAM-METHOD
  • With the steam method, cold milk is exposed to steam. This makes it warm and creates a soft, fine foam layer.
  • This technique is mostly used by baristas in coffee bars.
  • The foam that is created by the steam method is called microfoam and has a heavier texture.
  • You can find the steam function in the Lattissima and Creatista coffee machines.
