Check http://coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1203570795/17#17 for mathematical proof of this assertion. (down the bottom of post #17 - save yourself from reading the whole post)
Summary:
"So our milk goes up in temp by 1 DegC when we put it into a room temp jug. Would that affect our ability to create microfoam? I leave you to answer that one."
So I am not in the camp that refrigerates their jug. See previous posts to this thread where I admit to (occasionally) microwaving my milk up to 40 degC before commencing steaming. The end result isnt that different from steaming from cold, but as Ray_C points out, that quality isnt that high to begin with... :-)
35Deg difference = small difference in foam. 1 deg difference = 1/35 small (read indistinguishable) difference in foam.
Myth: Refrigerating our jug gives better microfoam. Status: Busted. Caveat: Argument based on maths (strong) and my own experience (well...)
