Milk frother for cappuccino: description, characteristics. Coffee machine with cappuccino

A fragrant drink of cappuccino is only a third of espresso. The rest of the cup is filled with milk foam, whipped with hot steam. To prepare this compulsory component of a coffee drink, you need a beater for cappuccino milk. We will tell you about what blowing agents are in our article.

Steam Frothers

Whisker, foaming or capping machine is a device for whipping milk, as a result of which it is enriched with oxygen, and milk foam forms on the surface of the liquid. There are two types of such devices:

• Steam, that is, kapuchinators, which use steam for the preparation of foam;
• Foaming milk, not using steam.

A steam cappuccino milk drinker is an automatic device that is connected to the coffee machine, and when the steam supply button is turned on, the liquid is directly beaten. On most existing automatic coffee machines, milk froth can be beaten with the help of such steam capuchinators:

• A classic nozzle for foaming milk, which is called "panarello";
• Automatic cappuccino with the collection of milk from any container;
• Automatic cappuccino jug with a function of simultaneous supply of foam;
• Ferromechanical capuchinator.

There are also steam devices that do not connect to the coffee machines, but prepare the foam separately, but also in automatic mode. These include an electric steam generator with a steam generator and a device reminiscent of the principle of a geyser coffee machine, in which the preparation of milk foam occurs on the stove.

Panarello

Paranello externally is a special nozzle of elongated shape, which is installed on the steam supply tube. This device is considered a classic kapuchinatorom and is included in the basic equipment of most automatic coffee machines.

However, such a beater for cappuccino milk has one significant drawback. The fact is that when using panarello, the whipping process must be constantly monitored, keeping the container with milk during the steam supply. The advantage of the nozzle is the qualitative result of foaming and ease of care. After using Panarello, it is enough to wash it under running water or to pour water into a clean container and whip it with steam, as well as milk.

Automatic steam capuishers

Automatic cappuccino with milk intake from a stand-alone container is installed in ordinary coffee machines in the place of panarello. With the help of a silicone tube, the necessary amount of milk is taken from the bag or any other container with milk. Then, in the cappuccino, the process of foaming milk begins, at the end of which the foam pours into the cup. After that, it will need to be rearranged under the dispenser to dispense a portion of coffee. There are also more modern coffee machines, where the processes of foaming milk and dispensing coffee automatically.

Milk drinker for cappuccino in the form of a jug is installed from the front of the espresso machine. Beating foam in it occurs automatically when you press only the coffee button. Then the coffee machine, also in automatic mode, gives out the right amount of foam.

It is quite easy to take care of such whippers. In the first case, it is enough to organize the intake of clean water from a separate tank and turn on the steam supply button, with the help of which purification will take place. In the second case, the jug needs to periodically remove and wash off the remains of milk from its walls.

Manual and automatic milk frother without steam

Milk whiskers that do not use steam convert milk into foam in a mechanical mode using a special whisk, rotating at high speed. Devices of this type include:

• Hand whisker of milk;
• Automatic milk frother.

The hand-made capper looks like a normal mixer or blender, which allows you to get a very good and stable foam very quickly. Due to the rapid rotation of the corolla of a special shape, whipping takes place in a matter of seconds, and as a result, a persistent and effective foam is obtained. It is extremely easy to clean and operates on two batteries.

The milk cap for cappuccino electric, or automatic, operates on the same principle as the previous device, but not manually, but from the mains. The frother is equipped with a whisk and a milk heating system and in less than a minute it allows to get high-quality foam. It is enough to pour the milk into it, turn on the button and in a minute get a smart, even by the standards of professionals, foam.

Milk frotcher for cappuccino "Ikea": the principle of action

Buy milk frothers offer several companies at once. Their devices differ in price and build quality, but most of them give high-quality foam. In stores "Ikea" such a cappuccino (manual) can be bought for only 99 rubles. How to use it?

Pour the milk into a container in which the whipping will take place. The liquid should occupy 1/3 of the volume of the cup. Then the milk should be warmed to room temperature and, holding the container under a slope, lower the whipper into it. And only now you can turn on the device. It takes about a minute to beat. When the milk starts to "curl" into the funnel, the whipping can be stopped. As a result, a homogeneous silky foam is obtained from above, and the bottom is milk. Just what you need to make cappuccino or latte.

Coffee machine with cappuccino: popular models

You can note several models of coffee machines with different types of built-in whippers of milk. Here are just some of them:

• A coffee machine with capuchinator in the form of panarello - in this category most of the coffee machines are represented. As an example, we can mention the Philips Saeco HD 8325 Poemia and Delonghi ESAM 2600;
• A coffee machine with milk intake from a separate container - Philips Saeco HD8750 99 Intuita;
• Automatic coffee machines with a jug for milk - Delonghi ECAM 22.360.S Magnifica S and Philips HD8828 Series 3100.

It is worth noting that both automatic cappuccinos and hand whisk foam equally well. But in the first case, especially if we are talking about modern coffee machines, the process of foaming occurs with minimal human participation.
