Free coffee & drinks tip: Milk that will shine (step 2 of 8 from "Café Latte at Home").

Whole dairy is the training-wheels milk: fat makes it sweet and the foam holds. Barista oat works if it says barista on the carton; regular oat splits into soap.

UHT milk can foam, but it tastes cooked before you start. Fresh whole, 3–4 days from the date, is the easy win.

You'll need

  • 18 g in / ~36 g out shot ready
  • 180 ml cold milk in a 350 ml pitcher
  • Cup warmed with hot water, then dumped
