Understanding Microfoam, Milk And Coffee Machines

mircofoam coffee machines and bean to cup coffee machines, So Pure coffee machines

So what really is Microfoam?
Is it the real Barista cappuccino deal within automatic tabletop coffee machines?
Or just pre-dry foam look-alike foam froth.

Across the UK, offices, coffee workspaces, floor-standing coffee solutions to hotel breakfast lounges bean to cup coffee machines suggest a barista drinking experience, but the truth is, do they? Not all bean to cup tabletop coffee machines are equal, nor offer those drink choices and velvet textures you should except.

So Pure’s years of experience crafting the perfect espresso coffee with the finest granulated milk which blends harmoniously with So Pure’s Swiss brewer within our bean to cup espresso coffee machines have created those velvet textures which is hard to taste the difference between fresh milk with defining calibration yet still its never Microfoam. But with the launch of the So Pure’s fresh milk dedicated Coffee machine option, changes all and offers a unique fresh milk tabletop barista experience option using the latest milk foam temperature control technology.

So What Is Microfoam?

Microfoam is that fine-textured heated milk, used for making espresso-based coffee drinks like Cappuccino’s and Flat White’s, particularly used with latte art. Typically created made with the heated steam from a Barista espresso machine, which pumps steam into a pitcher of milk and makes those amazing classic noises we all know.

So the opposite of microfoam is macrofoam (also called dry foam, in contrast to the wet foam of microfoam), which has visibly large bubbles.

Creating microfoam is defined by the heated steam within the milk and overheating milk leads to more air in your milk, which consequently less velvety milk. It’s this microfoam that allows traditional steam machines and baristas to pour a balanced and even coffee, with there coffee art.

Remember foamed milk AKA frothed milk follows the same concept except when you steam milk, you inject a lot more air, which gives the milk a light bubbly texture, so when you get a coffee that’s full of foam and no coffee, yes we’ve all been there and paid for a cup of air that’s foamed milk.

So Pure’s Fresh Milk Ivory double high-end heater system heats the milk foam with a unique thick film technology via FTH (Flow-Through Heater), so you always have 100% complete control over the temperature of the milk foam creating a velvety smooth texture and not wet and ‘soggy’ milk

Understanding Milk Temperature
As it does really matter.

Milk temperature is the most important factor to consider when creating that perfect coffee in texture, flavor, and density. Creating the right milk temperature is subject to your milk used, whether it’s plant-based milk like Oak milk or Soy milk to traditional fresh dairy milk, which contains more fat and requires longer to heat. This is why our new fresh milk table top coffee machine  ‘So Pure Fresh Milk Ivory’ has been designed with 16 foaming options, allowing your milk to be perfectly heated while preserving texture and define that perfect Microfoam.

Milk Alternatives For Fresh Milk Coffee Machines

With the launch of the latest fresh Milk tabletop coffee machine The So Pure Ivory , which offers a unique fresh milk tabletop barista experience using the latest milk foam temperature control technology, that truly creates those velvety smooth barista microfoam milk moments and all within a tabletop coffee machine, cup after cup. So Pure has been testing the world of fresh milk alternatives.

 

There’s many reasons to choose non-dairy milk and the supermarkets are full of options and types to choose from and it shouldn’t be pot luck when your choosing for a  So Pure coffee machine. But which milk alternative plant-based milk truly works best to create that barista microform?  Is it really possible plant-based milk to create a vegan latte? With over 16 milk microfoam settings possible, the So Pure Ivory fresh milk coffee machine allows you to heat your milk to the perfect temperature making the most of your milk from plant to dairy milk.

The choices are vast with non-dairy and plant-based milk alternatives from soy, almond, or oat milk?. Some non-dairy options have overpowering flavors and others can be difficult to foam to create that perfect barista microform. So below are our choices and discoveries of milk alternatives for the So Pure Ivory Fresh Milk Coffee Machine and your coffee moment.

 

One.
Oak Milk

Oat milk consists of steel-cut oats or whole groats which are soaked in water, blended, and strained through cheesecloth or a special nut milk bag, the leftover oat pulp has the bulk of the fiber and protein, when blended well enough, most passes through creating a  creamier texture than nut milk without added ingredients.

Used during the World Barista Championships  Serif Basaran, roaster and World Barista Championship judge used Oak Milk with amazing results

Two.
Soy Milk

Probably the world’s best-known milk alternative for generations and not for those avoiding dairy but also nut allergies (always check labels) and easy to a source within supermarkets. Created from dried soybeans soaked, and ground or pressed down with water to create Soy milk, but remember that it tends to curdle with acidic ingredients so craft your coffee bean choice well,  South American origins work well but African coffee bean might not the malty, light sweetness flavors of Soy milk.

Advice.

Letting the coffee cool a bit before adding soy milk and avoiding more acidic coffee beans helps.

Alpro Soy Milk 

 

Three.
Almond Milk

Almond milk, a plant milk from almonds with a creamy texture and nutty flavor is a great alternative to dairy milk, loads of flavors sweetened and unsweetened varieties to choose from but beware almond milk can curdle in coffee for the same reasons as soy milk: temperature and acidity. So to stop curdling, avoid pouring cold almond milk into very hot coffee. and the So Pure Ivory fresh milk coffee machine can cater for this with its unique independent temperature controlled drink settings. Almond milk doesn’t contain cholesterol, saturated fat or lactose, so those who are lactose-intolerant and others, such as vegans who avoid dairy products its perfect.

Advice.

Letting the coffee cool a bit before adding Almond milk and avoiding more acidic coffee beans helps.
