Pro tip:

• To get a good 'cream' of milk (especially if it is vegetable), the milk cannot be very hot. Ideally it should be between 55-65°

What milk do we use then?

• Our favorite and that of the baristas is oat milk since it is possible to make foam and latte art if it has enough % ​​fat. They even sell special milks for baristas but it is not strictly necessary to use them.
• Soy milk usually foams well, but it is very difficult to get patterns in the latte. It does not mix well with milk.
• Almond milk is possible to make cream and drawings, but it requires more practice.

The pink color of our Pink Latte is thanks to its beet content.
