If you are having trouble whipping up enough foam for your lattes or cappuccinos, try using lactose-free milk.
I have no idea what it is about lactose-free milk, but for some reason it makes more foam. So give it a shot, especially if you are a cappuccino fan and need lots of froth.
What are your experiences with the various kinds of milk? I know there are a lot of people who like to steam half-and-half. It's not something I've tried. I'd be interested to hear your opinions of what type of milk works for you.
