My Milk Never Froths Right for Coffee at Home

The problem
You try to make a latte at home and the milk either stays flat or turns into big, uneven bubbles — nothing like the smooth microfoam from a coffee shop.
Why it happens
Temperature and technique matter more than the milk itself. Overheated milk breaks down and won’t hold foam. Whisking too fast or too high up in the milk creates big, coarse bubbles instead of fine microfoam.
The fix
- Start with cold milk — it froths better and gives you more control before it heats up.
- Froth in short, controlled bursts, keeping the whisk near the surface rather than plunging it deep.
- Don’t overheat — once it’s steaming, it’s already past the point of good foam.
What helps

Consistent whisk speed removes the guesswork — comes with a stand and two whisk heads.
