Ever wonder the secret behind your favorite latte? โ๏ธ
For a latte, milk is typically steamed to around 140โ150ยฐF. In that range, the milk stays smooth and creamy, and its natural sweetness comes through.
Ask for it extra hot, and the milk is heated beyond that sweet spot. Once it gets too hot, the proteins begin to break down differently, which can affect both the texture and flavor. Instead of silky and naturally sweet, the milk can start to taste flatter and feel thinner.
That doesnโt mean you shouldnโt order it extra hot โ if thatโs how you like it, order it that way. Just know thereโs a reason baristas aim for a specific temperature.
A little coffee science for your Sunday. โ๏ธ
