How to steam milk for coffee flat white or capuccino

[sksnfl0401]

first of all, you should NEVER be banging the milk pitcher so hard with thermometer still attached to it as it will mess with the spring inside the mechanism of the thermometer. also, turn off the steam well before the temperature reaches 72 degrees celsius since the milk proteins denature when heated over that point.

@cool13q a flat white is common in Australia and New Zeland - pretty much the exact same drink as a Latte, except where as a Latte is served in a glass cup, flat white is typically served in a ceramic cup. Flat white has only 5mm of foam, Latte has 10mm and a cappuccino has 15mm. When preparing a flat white, hold back the dry foam with a spoon, only allowing the microfoam to top your coffee.

What's the difference between a latte and a flat white?

@cool13q Where I make them, a latte is 10oz, and the milk has a creamy texture. A flat white is 8oz, and the milk has a finer, silkier texture.
