Latte Art with a Simple Milk Frother Using Microwave

- It's easy and simple to use a simple milk frother in order to make latte art. Also use your microwave. Make sure, the milk is not too hot. Use good coffee and barista techniques to make the coffee. The milk part is not that difficult, it's microfoam at the end. It's just because I'm not a barista, so the result is not very good. But you can do better for sure.
How to warm up the milk:
Use about 1.30 minutes with full power. The important thing is that the milk is supposed to be 70°C (158°F). It actually doesn't matter what temperature the of the milk was before. In my experience fat amount of the milk doesn't matter: I use 0.3, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.5% fat milk and it works on all of them. However, the less fat, the difficult it gets.
Frothing is the hard part:
Fill about the half of the metal cup. Part 1: First, use the mixer as I have shown it, so you can see it and it has air contact. This will help to make the bubbles and the foam. When the foam reaches the top, it's time for Part 2: Go deeper inside the foam (as I go to the side), and make the big bubbles disappear. You will see, that micro foam will emerge. Once you see the micro foam, you are already there. I sometimes use the other cup to pour the milk from one cup the other to help the big bubbles disappear even more.
The rest depends on your skills. I always tilt the coffee cup, before I pour in the milk. I first go around and around the coffee, until I am sure, the milk is inside, and not just on the top of the coffee. Once the coffee is almost filled with milk, start with the latte art.?
When you pour the milk slowly and carefully, the bigger bubbles go away. It is a substitute for the usual swirling. You see, if you leave it on the pitcher for couple seconds, the milk sinks down, the bubbles raise. To avoid this, Baristas always swirl the pitcher, before they eventually do the latte art. Instead of swirling, I just pour the milk from one pitcher to the other. Same effect but with less swirling skills needed.?
When you pour, pour the milk inside the coffee good. Your milk should have micro foam, though. It should feel like dense milk not like bath foam. When it feels like more like bath foam, it will stay on top. And yes, a high quality barista coffee cup makes a difference when you are a beginner. And when you have one, tilt it a little bit when you pour the milk.
I always get too much of foam.
I can't seem to get my milk become so thick no matter what I do
Very good use of a $2 mixer , only goes to show the artistry of the Barista well done keep the vids coming.
got a link to your foamer? It's def more powerful than mine
really nice job known you are not a barista. you can try to finish pulling your milk a bit slowly when pouring the pattern, but still, everything else was done properly.
I watched your video a few times and tried the technique multiple times it just doesn't work. It doesn't matter how I hold the mini frother and for how long I always end up with milk in the bottom and bubbles on the top. They just don't mix and do not give me micro foam.
Maybe you are mixing it with the frother too long. Try a little less.
Thanks, I have a full automatic machine that makes the espresso and the foam, but I will try tonight with a milk frother like yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, I was just wondering why you poured your milk from one pitcher to the other at 2:20. Is it to mix it? Or does it have something to do with the foam?
Thanks for the video!

Thank you that's very well explained! Have a good day :)
Does pouring too slowly affect the way the Crema adheres to the Coffee? It never seems to do what I want to do.
Does the Coffee matter? I heard coffee that's not too fresh is good that it becomes sticky enough for the Crema. I heard a bit of a month from ground is good. Is that true?
Hey! Okay so I've been trying to do latte art for like forever but I've never once got it to work, it aaaalways foams on top. So I'm using whole milk and I'm using a French press to make strong coffee, but when I start to pour, the coffee (although very dark) becomes very light by the time it gets close to the top. Then when I do pour the "foam" part of it, it's just all thick and it floats right on top instead of being liquidy. Does the cup matter as well because I'm not using a standard saucer cup, just a mug. Thank you so much!
+ConJay +ConJay Hi! First of all, when you pour, pour the milk inside the coffee good. One thing came to my attention is that you talk about "foam". Your milk should have micro foam, though. It should feel like dense milk not like bath foam. When it feels like more like bath foam, it will stay on top. And yes, a high quality barista coffee cup makes a difference when you are a beginner. And when you have one, tilt it a little bit when you pour the milk.
+tendarian first of all, thank you so much for the reply! And yes, i swirled it in the middle like you did and the top became foamy, and so I tilted the frother and waited but the foam just stayed there. I've read that you should wait til the big bubbles disappear but there weren't going away😂 so I just scooped the foam out and tried again and the foam started coming on top again
+ConJay Give your pitcher a few good hard taps on the counter to get those bubbles to go away, and then swirl it. Try keeping the frother lower down into the milk too.
Same problem.. Did u ever figure out how to nail it?
Could you please tell me how long you leave it in the microwave, is it a minute thirty seconds? Is it at full power? Also, do you start with cold milk? Is it non-fat, 2 percent or whole milk? I have been trying to learn how to do this, but can't seem to get my micro-foam correct. Thank you, great video!
Hi Sunny. I use 1.30 minutes, full power. The important thing is, the milk is supposed to be 70°C (158°F), no matter the temperature before. Fat amount actually doesn't matter: I use 0.3, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.5% fat, works on all of them.
Frothing is the hard part. Fill about the half of the metal cup.
Part 1:First, use the mixer as I have shown it, so you can see it and it has air contact. This will help to make the bubbles and the foam. When the foam reaches the top ...
Part2: ... go deeper inside the foam (as I go to the side), and make the big bubbles disappear. You will see, that micro foam will emerge. Once you see the micro foam, you are already there. I sometimes use the other cup to pour the milk from one cup the other to help the big bubbles disappear even more.
The rest depends on your skills. I always slent the coffee cup, before I pour in the milk. I first go around and around the coffee, until I am sure, the milk is INSIDE, and not just on the top of the coffee. Once the coffee is almost filled with milk, start with the latte art.
tendarian Pls can u tell me what is power of your mixer ? i think that is really important 2,cause i have one but its 2 slow i think :(
I dnt have that little mixer thing. Can I use a spoon lol
What coffee machine is this? It looks really good
Isomac Maverick
Do you need crema for the free pour?
+ODBaker It's regular milk. You can also use low fat or 0% fat milk. Works as well.
what is the size of your pitcher? 300 ml?
I forgot, sorry. Have another one already.
What milk did you use pls?
How to you if the foam is right?
Practice. I usually stop when it reaches the top of my pitcher.
Thanks for the video! What are the sizes (oz) of those stainless pitchers btw?
Very good but long steps
μετρια αποδωση!!;;
You're not supposed to heat milk hotter than 70C/158F ...you nuked it. 😆🤣 You're doing it all wrong. Froth 2oz of very cold milk then microwave it for about 20secs. The froth will expand to fill the cup. Try it.
