A white coffee mug filled with foamy hot chocolate. There are two mostly-circular dots of white milk foam on the surface.

I’m back from a stomach bug with more improvement!

Cream instead of milk, nuked to 130F. Smelled a little scalded?

Frothed on low, half submerged this time. Mix of bubble sizes

I got a consistent pour, but couldn’t pull the drink with it.

A white coffee mug with hot chocolate and a lot of white milk foam resting on the surface of the drink. There is one small, oval blob of foam near the handle of the mug, and one large blob of foam that covers most of the rest of the surface of the drink.

Better than yesterday!

Microwaved milk for 20 seconds, plus bursts (143F)

Stuck with low speed, and checked to make sure there wasn’t plain milk left in the foam - and it poured!

Problem: foam just floated. Didn’t sink enough to make art.

☕️ New adventure unlocked! ☕️ Learning Latte Art! ☕️

I drink hot cocoa every morning, I’ve run out of whipped cream, and I just got a handheld milk frother.

Let’s try this.

If anyone has advice, I’d love your expertise.
