      I have always found the organic milks to texture the best. But now I am curious to try the A2 milk.

        I went to CostCo on the weekend and was stoked to see them selling A2 - $3.70 for 2 litres.

        Unfortunately if you dont already shop there its $60 per annum for the membership >

          Looks like Ill have to try A2.

          By process of elimination - through experiencing some awful taste and smell I couldnt put my finger on, and terrible micro-foam - I have been going through milks and have come across Pauls Parmalat Pure Organic Lite or Full, and it was the best milk Ive used to date. Easy to texture, dense and no funky taste!

          From some research that others appear to have done here, permeate is the culprit for that awful taste.

          A2, Pauls Parmalat Organic and Pauls Farmhouse Gold are a few Ive found that dont have permeate added.

              tried A2 today due to always having the slightest slushy gut feeling.  Accidentally got light but it still does okay microfoam. It produces a layer of big bubbles on the top but that could be technique..
              out of curiosity, how do you make cappuccino foam? I can only get latte foam.
              If by cap you mean you want frothy white unstained foam on top, this is easy enough.

              a. Let the milk separate (split) before pouring.
              b. Let the milk split more by spinning it less.

              If youre having trouble with the amount of foam, its not easy to get the 1/3 foam quantity in a domestic machine (at least the cheaper ones) and it also depends very much on the milk. I can usually get an inch of creamy microfoam on my lattes after they separate in the glass, but with some milk I can only get 0.5 cm. I try to go for less than an inch though. Just keep lowering the wand while trying not to get too many gulps in (which will produce the larger bubbles).
