What milk to use for cappuccino ?

[Raymond Lin]

Is it Skimmed, Semi Skimmed or whole?

I always thought that skimmed milk is best because the fat in whole milk stops the milk frothing. But i am sure I seen some cafe where they use semi or even whole milk.

You can use any milk you want as long as your steam wand is up to frothing it nicely. I work in a coffee shop and I think it's easier to froth whole milk. I train new baristas and they always seem to have trouble frothing skimmed milk over full milk. Skimmed milk can be frothed just as smoothly but it takes a little more care, plus I think whole milk tastes better as it is creamier.

I don't think it matter, all with froth up but whole milk will be much nicer and creamier.

Strong coffee with whole milk yum yum
