VSCCF on shaken espressos - it just sinks! (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by kitkat828
Am I doing something wrong here? It just sinks through the foam that builds up from shaking it. Am I over shaking?

I would just say that density of the VSCCF is greater than the foam from shaken espresso.

I see some folks saying that your vsccf isn't made properly but I don't think that's it--are you having the problem where the vsscf is staying intact, but the espresso foam is rising up over the vsscf? that's pretty normal for me and I typically will just let it be (you're still getting the vsscf as your first layer flavorwise which is the goal anyway) or, if it looks especially foamy and I have an extra second, I'll scoop some of the espresso foam off before pouring the vsccf.

Scooping some foam off is a great idea! I've been brain dead lately but ill give that a shot! Thanks!

Just put a little bit of heavy cream in the blender if it’s just liquid. You’ll get a nice thicc foam that looks nicer than what you get

It’s not the espresso foam, try adding more heavy cream to ur sc, it’ll foam better
darkwolf523 1 points 1y ago
That’s my favorite type of foam. Espresso foam also why you getting downvoted? Lol

I dunno man, maybe because adding more heavy cream is not the standard recipe? We noticed our sweet cream foams better when you use more heavy cream ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Are you adding the foam before shaking?
kitkat828 [OP] 2 points 1y ago
No. I shake, pour into cup, add specified milk, and try to do the vsccf on top, but it just sinks.

Your vsccf may have separated and isn’t blending properly 🤷‍♂️
