6. Milk Selection and Foaming Tips
The type of milk used significantly impacts the quality of the foam.
- Whole Milk (>3% fat): Recommended for the best and creamiest foam results.
- Low-fat Milk: May froth, but the foam will be less dense and creamy.
- Skim Milk: Generally does not froth well.
- Plant-based Milks: Results vary. Barista-style oat or almond milks often yield good foam.
