Texturing

Also known as milk texture · texturizar · texturing milk

What it is and what sets it apart: Result of good stretch and roll. Silk matters—not foam height.

At the bar: Aim for glossy paint without visible bubbles; tune air by drink (flat white vs cappuccino).

Impact on the drink: Impact: espresso integration, sweetness perception and latte-art success.

Technical notes: Practice with the same pitcher/milk. Listen to the roll.

Common mistakes: Matte dry foam. Big bubbles. Different texture every pitcher.
