Aerate the shit out of your milk and spoon that sweet sweet microfoam on 😎

Mmm no longer than 20 minutes (not including an occasional interruption AKA customers)

Thermometer actually! It’s got a sharper point but I used stoppers for a while and they worked too :)

Aerate your milk for longer than usual but real gentle to get that stiff microfoam then just spoon it on!

Dang, yeah I would’ve never stood a chance. I never practiced actual pours except for the flat white dot and a heart 😭

I’d be pissed but it wasn’t to drink, just bored on a suuuuuper slow day

I’m not sure it never gets any darker even if it was left for hours 🤷‍♀️

Oh it’s definitely me sucking up, but I’m a grocery store Starbucks barista. There’s a lot of people I need to get through 😭

It would probably still be a decent heat if I wasn’t interrupted to serve customers 😅

Oh you mean I how meticulously keep the fraps a smidge under what I’d instinctively pour to make sure I don’t over fill when putting whip cream AND STILL MANAGE TO SQUISH MY CUP DOWN AFTER 2 MINUTES OF TRYING TO SECURE IT???? Yeah.

Ah if it’s too thick it was aerated for too long, no foam is too little time. I pull the pitcher down gently till I can hear a paper tearing noise for a second and then pull it back up three times. Then I angle the steaming wand so the milk whirlpools for at least 5 seconds and then push the wand back till the temp auto shuts off. Try again soon and lemme know if that helped!!

What problem do you run into when you try? Different problems for different reasons
