4. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why is the milk not dense enough?
A: It may be because the milk temperature is too high (more than 70°C) or the steam rod angle is incorrect. It is recommended to insert the steam rod 1cm below the milk surface at an angle of 45 degrees.
Q2: Can plant milk be used instead of milk?
A: Yes, but oat milk, almond milk, etc. need to choose the "coffee-specific" version. Ordinary plant milk is not easy to beat due to its low protein content.
Q3: How to make it without a coffee machine?
A: Mocha pot can be used instead of espresso, and the milk foam can be manually whipped through the French filter press (you need to heat the milk and quickly press the filter for more than 50 times).
