Lovers of the Italian coffee drink know perfectly well how important it is to choose high-quality milk for the drink. To end up with a delicious product with excellent foam, you need to find the best option. Simplerule experts have made it easier for Russian buyers and compiled a list of the best milk brands for cappuccino, pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of each participant in the rating.

How to choose milk for cappuccino

To begin with, we will find out what raw milk should be, and what you should pay attention to:

1. Inscriptions on the label. For coffee machines, products with an indication of “ECO”, “BIO” on the pack are not suitable. It is better to choose UHT milk that has been heat treated and has a long shelf life.

2. Protein amount. Its performance should not be less than 2,8 g. Due to the high protein content, cappuccino foam is viscous and creamy.

3. Fatness. Fat content practically does not affect the frothing of milk for cappuccino. It affects the taste, density and duration of the standing foam. The bubble mass will be sweet and dense if you use a product with a fat content of 3-4%.

4. Packaging. It is more practical to use a bag with a beveled surface and a dispenser.

It remains to get acquainted with the brands of milk, which will allow you to achieve a delicate creamy-sweet foam, consisting of small bubbles.
