    Re: reheating milk

    I cant comment on commercial practice, but in the home why would you want to waste any milk; pour it into a spare jug in the fridge - good for cereal, tea?, mashed potato, even drink it!

    In my domestic environment I dont waste any.
    I steam enough milk and no more.  
    hahahaha, nailed it... thats gotta be my favourite line (in context) on CS so far...
    Thanks Turbo.

    Ill also mention that in the few weeks I worked in a couple of quiet cafes, it was possible to do the same.

    Why cant you just put enough milk in the right sized jug for the amount of coffees you need?
    Works for me.
    Always straight to the point is Thundergod.  ;D

    Wow, where I work we still use the milk from the previous coffees, yeah I know when I was taught, I was like "thats so not good...".

    I am still finding that I get really good results producing microfoam with the 300 ml jug but i find it dfiifcult to pour with so I transfer to a larger one. The steaming with the 300ml jug is so much faster on my La Scala Butterfly..it must take just a few seconds on a commercial machine!

    Re: reheating milk

    when we are busy and i have over 15 coffees to make i normally get another colleague to work on coffees.. im a bit of a perfectionist & prefer to use smaller jugs for no more than 2 coffees at a time otherwise I cant properly make all coffees how they should be made i.e. an order for 2 cappuccinos and a latte.... you need to stretch quite a fair bit to get some nice foam for the caps but not so much for the latte but i like to pour rosettas so when making lattes or flat whites i prefer to use just a small jug on its own for them

    what are your thoughts on this?

    PS i hate using a massive jug to make lots of coffees :P

    Re: reheating milk

    Now I have been using the 300 ml pitcher for about 1 week. I actually find that i am producing better microfoam...perhaps because steaming power is a bit of a weak point on the butterfly...with the lower volume of milk steaming power is relatively higher in that a more pronounced whirlpool occurs. I still find the pour not so good with this smaller pitcher so I transfer to my larger favorite. The bottom line is good result...no waste and now no reheating or throwing out milk.

    Re: reheating milk

    I have been trying the 300ml jug...of course it heats up faster than I am used to and have also found pouring (especially art) more tricky. I know I need to give it some time and keep practicing : )

    If theres a little bit left over (it would be lucky to be 20ml) the it goes into the sink
    I drink it
    I love milk ;D

    Not in my case.
    On the odd occasion theres a few ml left over I taste it.
    That way I have another way to judge if I got the milk right before tasting my coffee.

    Re: reheating milk

    I make two lattes in cappucino cups (will I burn in hell???) I find that the 600ml with milk to just below where the spout starts is just about the perfect amount of milk. If theres a little bit left over (it would be lucky to be 20ml) the it goes into the sink, but theres rarely any left over.

    Its just a case of experimenting, getting to know what you need for the cups you use in a home environment and only steaming that much. If Im only making one drink at a time, then I switch down to the 300ml and use that instead - fortunately Ive got Pete just about as hooked as I am on coffee, so this doesnt happen very often at all!
