Milk Frothing Tips

How do you get the perfect microfoam every time?

, chasing “perfect microfoam every time” drove me nuts too. Purge until you’ve got dry steam, then stretch for just 3–4 seconds with the tip barely kissing the surface before burying it and finishing around 140°F — this gave me consistent, glossy foam; if you’re on alt milk, stop a bit cooler. What machine are you on?
