Try 3D....fail miserably

Yup they are, they just normal food coloring that can be purchase from supermarket shelf.

Nice vids you got there..... the milk forth came out really nice and controllable.....what machine you used ? background look like you work at some cafes.....

man..... that machine from Kees Van Des Westen is sick..... dang nice machine..... .... nuovo simonelli oscar cant produce such same result ?

not with mod version..... the mod takes it to more high level steam pressure when release and the milk froth up very fast....try with soap water and it froth up in like 3 - 4 second ..... like raging bull when you hold their horn (never hold one before)

damm it is close to raya, hope my loxeal reach me in time before the holiday...

i agree with this .... not only all comes down to personal preference of using the pitcher but also wastage and cup size your going to serve....

From my previous 20oz that i used always had excess every time i pour them ....with 12oz it just nice and better control for me when the milk is level below the spout also the factor of my serving is small ..... don forget milk will raise when they froth means you get extra more milk compare to when you pour before steam.

downside is that 12oz milk steam up really fast if you have machine that give high pressure steam.

Haha, i had try out many milk already.... basically you want to avoid dutch lady fresh milk,good day and also HL, and i find myself most of the time uses farm house, farm fresh, Pura and Magnolia fresh milk....
most of the cafe used magnolia fresh milk as my observation. i think it is much more creamer and easy to work with.

Im not pros just a basic person know basic stuff only....so here are my takes on your question.

1) Is there a point of diminishing return in stretching milk?
don over heat the milk or short heat the milk

2) How should the milk look like before pouring? Is the surface supposed to be smooth like regular milk or slightly foamy?
It is suppose to be shiny, thick and look like fresh wet paint from open paint can.How do you know, swirl you milk and you can see the wall of the pitcher, it is thick and stick to the picther wall like a paint stuck on the wall r compare to normal think milk that will just roll down the wall very fast.



3) Why is it necessary to swirl the milk in the jug before pouring?
Yes and no, If you can steam without bubble and pour immediately after steam then is it not necessary, but most ppl did was after they steam the milk then they let if sit for few second because they are cleaning the steam wand or they tap the milk (tapping can cause separation too), once the milk sit on for a while, the microfoam begin to separate from the milk. so it is necessary need to swirl the milk to prevent the microfoam from separating the milk before pour.

4) When i swirl the milk, the bit of milk that sticks to the sides are kinda foamy. Am i introducing too much air into the milk?
Picture would be nice, foam as describe in light foam like those in detergent kind or think wet paint look ?

Supermarket mostly.
The milk preference it depend on one's choice so you had to taste it to know which milk suit you. I would recommend magnolia fresh milk the one with the yellow box.




Some say that it is the milk that closely similar to what starbucks is using but the trend preference now used by most cafe are the magnolia barista milk which not sold in the supermarket.

i see .... just wondering why F&N taking all the trouble just to design the box since they are selling the same milk even limited it to the market used with price so much different too.... it is quiet a mystery when they mention both are the same....

Based in KL ?
