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
darkwolf5231 points1y 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?

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 🤷♂️
