Make Microfoam at Home
While aerolatte-style electric whisks are great for mixing liquids, it would be difficult to say that they can, in any way, produce smooth luscious microfoam, perfect for pouring latte art. Subminimal, however, has taken the handheld whisk design, re-engineered it, and has created a stunning, little tool that allows you to create actual, high-quality microfoam in seconds.
We were skeptical too, but it actually does an amazing job. So what does this mean..? Whether the steam pressure on your espresso machine is not up to the job, you use mocha pots, you're a fan of pod coffee, or you are out camping, you can create delicious textured milk that you'd expect to get from your favourite coffee shop.
Select a NanoScreen according to your preferred type of microfoam: superfine, fine or regular foam.
Churning:
Churn your hot milk (55°C is ideal) for about 15 seconds. Start in the middle to incorporate air, then move to the side to continue churning and mixing the foam.
Pour:
Pour your perfectly frothed milk over an espresso. It should look like you're pouring paint. Draw a heart, a rosette or something abstract!
