The French press hack #coffee

After 35 micro pumps I passed out and was done for the day

Around here, a french press is more expensive than a frother.

I accidentally discovered this when cleaning my French press. I pumped it with soapy water and the soap got this silky smooth texture, I thought the same might work with milk. Turns out it does! It also ruins your French press over time but it definitely works!

what I can recommend as a person that does this all the time. I used to use the same technique to make my girlfriend creamiest cold brew milk for coffees ever. But what I found out is that I can just take a normal milk container where there’s only a third of milk left in the container and shake the absolute crap out of it for about a minute and I have an even better consistency. Maybe try that as a hack. I’ve been doing it for years now with my girlfriend asked me for an ice coffee. It makes the milk even creamier and poofy.

“I passed out two times, but here’s your hot chocolate!”

THIS IS GENIUS. thank you for this tip. I'm so excited

[llamagod]

I am so glad you did this because this will make my morning coffee in the summer wayyy better

[honeykiron]

Got the most beautiful texture of milk without spending an eternity using the hand frother. Thank you so much for this hack.

Thanks for this. Looking forward to my afternoon coffee now 😁☺️

Bro says the frother is expensive while I can just buy it for couple euros 💀

How my venezuelan mom taught me to get thick and rich hot chocolate: Try heating up dark chocolate bars with milk in the stove, add a half cup water and cornstarch mix to it while stirring the whole time

Try to unscrew the cap. You can pump til the bottom which can make better microform and you'll be able to latte art as well

Cleaning a French Press is such a pain compared to cleaning a frother. But definitely good info for people who have a French Press and want to try making things with frothed milk without getting new gear.

i bought a little frother at homegoods for $6.99. french press was $9.99 at TJ Maxx. don’t waste your money on an expensive one. they do the same work and i love it

I bought a Lavazza milk frother machine for less than thirty pounds (I m in the UK) a few years ago. It’s great and also makes brilliant hot chocolate drinks, I have also frothed milk in Nutri-Bullet and it’s fine.

Wow, killed the strainer mesh, really 👍

Ooooh I learned how to do this when my little electric milk frother broke. I now have a French press as backup and a fancy milk frother with temperature settings.

This was the main reason why I got my french press xd. Basically 2 in 1

[thesleepdeprived]

I started doing this when I saw someone use a manual milk frother which literally have the same pumping structure as the frenchpresh

Its somewhat close but not as smooth and thick as with a steam wand or electric frother, but works in a pinch
