What happened?
BARISTA PRESCRIPTION

Stays flat

For 2% milk with a hand frother, change one variable first.

LIKELY CAUSE

The tool may be circulating below the surface without pulling in air, or the vessel may be too wide.

TRY THIS NEXT

Use a narrower chilled vessel. Start near the surface for 5–7 seconds, then move deeper.
