Hi there,
Can I ask if there is any difference when you guys texture skim milk with the 6910.
I use Brownes Hilo (WA milk) most of the time now, with previous milk being Pura Boost (not sold at most supermarkets now, so not a viable option - but better for texturing than Hilo).
I havent tried the steam settings yet, as i believe a slower texture should be able to fix mistakes.
As a point of reference, with the same technique using full fat milk, i get much better and much more froth (and microfoam) - and it holds its state post-cupping.
as an added question, do you guys use a smaller jug to do a 1 cup? my standard is for 2 cups and with the same jug, i tend to completely muck up as the temp rises too quickly.
Thanks,
Darren
ps. my texturing technique at the moment is:
1. purge until more or less full steam (ahead)
2. wand extended out to max angle
3. tip immersed about 1cm below surface, jug angled to create vortex , tip nearer towards edge than middle of jug
4. about 3-4 sec, start creating foam (bigger bubbles, let it do its thing until they disappear)
5. stop the foaming bit at around 40 deg C, dip wand further in
6. stop around 58-60deg C mark. i try to not go to 65 as its still a bit hot by the time i drink it.
7. repeat step 1.
8. bang on benchtop, swirl/check for bubbles and for the glossy shine
9. pour/cup (which i cant get even foam distribution between 2 cups, so i pour a bit into 1 first, then go back to the first cup after doing the 2nd cup)
