How to use a Motta thermometer for foaming milk?

At the rear is a calibration nut. The stem accommodates the clip. The clip latches onto the jug. By squeezing the clip vertical adjustment is possible. The coffee machines steam pipe inserts into the milk. Steam is turned on.

Consequently the milk begins to heat. The needle on the dial moves. The green zone indicates the target temperature. 140 – 160 Fahrenheit. Best practice switch the steam off at 120 degrees.

Milk foaming styles

Flat white needs milk. The clue is in the name ! However it’s a different kind of milk foaming to Cappuccino. Traditionally in coffee making milk was heated and stretched.

The objective being to get hot milk and foam together. When poured the milk and the foam would move as one. But the foam Would sit on top of the milk. As if it were a separate entity.

With a Latte milk was foamed in the same way. A spatula was help over the spout of the jug. This allowed the milk to flow into the drink. The flat white requires a milk consistency of gloss paint. No foam is required.  Consequently a vortex is created in the jug.

The milk is heated with little or no stretching at all. The Motta thermometer can be used in all scenarios. Remember to keep the coffee flowing nicely. Use Puly Caff powder to back flush the group heads. As well as adding to hot water in a bowl. Great for soak cleaning jugs and thermometers.
