Types of cappuccino makers

Based on production technology, a distinction is made between steam and mechanical units.

1. The first (steamer) is attached to the steam device of the coffee machine. It works on a simple spray principle. That is, it breaks the liquid into small grains, mixing steam with milk.
2. Mechanical. The milk product is whisked in a pitcher. Then the foam is placed into a special bowl on its own. There are:

– Manual device. This is a steel rod with a rotating whisk and a handle with batteries.

Clatronic MS 3089

Our TOP continues - Clatronic MS 3089. This is an extremely simple and inexpensive milk frother. It does not have its own bowl, but you can prepare foam in any convenient container. In addition, the compact size of this device will allow you to take it with you on trips, so you can always enjoy cappuccino and other coffee drinks with homemade milk foam. But it is worth considering that its nozzle is not removable and during trips it is better to store such a foaming agent in some kind of case so as not to bend the nozzle. Regarding the effectiveness of Clatronic MS 3089, it is ideal for frothing cold pasteurized milk with a protein content of 3 g per 100 ml. And the fattier the milk, the denser the foam will be. Such a device can also be used to froth warm milk, but such milk froths worse. Also, MS 3089 can be used to beat eggs for omelettes or stir thin sauces. As for the controls, everything is extremely simple, since the cappuccino maker only has 1 button. It weighs little and the ergonomic handle makes it comfortable to hold. By the way, the process of frothing milk with such a device does not take much time. So you won't have time to get tired. Well, this milk frother runs on a pair of AA batteries, which is especially important for travel. After all, it will be possible to prepare a coffee drink with beautiful milk foam, for example, in nature, where there are no sources of electricity.

• Power: 2 x AA.
• Dimensions: 47 x 47 x 225 mm.

How to get the perfect foam

In order for the frother to live up to expectations, it is important to choose the right milk for these purposes - the result depends on it. Milk should be:

• High protein - it is desirable that the milk contains at least 3% protein. Thanks to this, the foam will be fine, viscous, and creamy.
• Sufficiently fatty - this produces a sweet, dense foam that remains stable longer. For cappuccino, milk with a fat content of 3% or higher is better suited, for latte - 1.5-2.5%.
• Whole, pasteurized or ultra-pasteurized, which was not brought to a boil. “Dead” milk, unlike “live” farm milk, whips better.

The warmer the milk, the more difficult it is to froth it using hand frothers. But automatic ones do an excellent job with such a product.

Instructions for frothing milk

The first milk you find won't do. To make the foam thick and dense, it is better to take enough fat - more than 3.5% - whole milk. Before cooking, cool it, then the foam will be thicker and disappear more slowly.

It’s easy to learn how to froth milk with a manual cappuccino maker. If you don't have a pitcher, you can use any beating container. Experienced baristas recommend pitchers made of stainless steel or another metal that conducts heat well. This way you can track the temperature of the drink by touch.

To obtain foam:

• Add milk to pitcher. The quantity should be slightly more than needed for one mug.
• Turn on the steam and run the first batch to clear the steam line.
• Lower the nozzle into the container with milk, immersing it 1-2 cm. A funnel forms in the liquid.
• Adjust the pitcher's angle so that large bubbles disappear from the surface.
• When the frothed milk doubles in volume due to foam, lower the nozzle deeper to heat it up.
• After preparation, do not forget to clean the cappuccino maker in the coffee machine.

At 80°C milk begins to boil. For cappuccino, the optimal temperature is considered to be 60-70°C. After preparing the foam, it should be immediately added to the cup of coffee.
