In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: For the creamiest flat white with the best microfoam, use whole milk. If you prefer, you can use lower fat milk or alternative milk, such as soy or almond milk. Keep in mind that the milk will double in volume once it's steamed, so don't fill a small pitcher more than half full. If you're using alternative milk, it will probably steam faster than whole milk, so be careful not to over steam it. To purge the steam wand of any moisture trapped at the end, quickly turn it on so steam sprays out. Keep the wand on for a couple of seconds to ensure the wand is clear. You should purge the wand before you insert it into the pitcher of milk. This is because trapped moisture in the wand could get into your milk and make it taste bad. Position the pitcher so the tip of the steam wand is about 1 inch (2.5cm) below the surface of the milk. As soon as the wand is submerged, turn it on. If you put the wand into the milk and wait before turning on the steam, milk will get into the steam wand. until it's between 130 and 140F (54 and 60C). Keep the steam wand in the milk so the milk swirls in the pitcher and doubles in volume. You should see delicate foam on the surface instead of large bubbles if you keep the wand properly submerged. To test if the milk is hot enough, use a thermometer or hold the side of the pitcher as you steam. Turn off the steam once the pitcher is too hot to touch. Since you can't make microfoam by whisking hot milk, avoid preparing the milk on the stove. The texture and color of the milk should look glossy, almost like latex paint. Once you've turned off the steam wand, move it off to the side and carefully set the pitcher of milk on the counter. Tap it gently once or twice to pop large bubbles that might be on the surface. Swirl the milk a little to keep it moving until you're ready to pour it over the espresso. If you tap too hard, milk may splash out of the pitcher. Bring the pitcher to your cup with espresso and tilt it carefully so the microfoam flows into the espresso. As you get close to the top of the cup, tilt even more so more of the foam floats to the top. Try to work as quickly so the steamed milk doesn't lose its volume. With enough practice, you can create designs by wiggling your wrist as you pour the milk into the espresso.
Summary: Pour about 12 cup (120ml) of milk into a steaming pitcher. Purge the steam wand for about 2 seconds. Put the wand into the milk and turn on the steam immediately. Steam the milk Tap the pitcher to remove bubbles. Pour the milk into the espresso to create a flat white.
