Here are some examples of two sets of semiskimmed milk I ‘mirofoamed’ in a Motta pitcher. The close-up macro lense has picked-up a couple of tiny bubbles, and the photo doesn’t really show the glossiness and consistency very well – but I can confirm that these milks were near-perfect, very smooth emulsions!
Against a picture of bad or even good-but-not-great milk, the difference would be clearer. And when you know what real microfoam is, the visual and tactile differences are distinct, and make a world of difference.
