Hello guys,
I am having some difficulties with my steamed/frothed milk, I hope You guys can help me with this problem I am about to do my best to describe the problem enough for you to understand it easily.
As I turn the steam dial on I let the wand surfing the surface of the milk to stretch it (inserting air into the milk) until it hits 4/3 of its initial volume, then I drown the wand under the surface, so I continue to steam it without inserting any additional air into the milk and I wait until the pitcher gets "too warm to hold". During whole process I am creating "vortex" so the milk circles in the pitcher. After I turn off the steam dial (I clean it..) I tap the pitcher once, I give it 4-5 more circles and I start pouring..
This is when I encounter my problem.. I know it only follows physical laws, but the milk is layered into 3 layers. The first one on top is very rich foam, the second one is "the right" microfoam I need for latte art and the last - bottom layer is only steamed milk without any foam. I tried to do sketch for you guys, I hope you get it..
If I understand latte art right, the steamed milk should be the same nice velvet texture from the top to the bottom.. Whats the mistake I have been doing? Thank You very much guys!
