5 advantages of an automatic milk frother in a café, restaurant or hotel

Milk churning speed and efficiency in the café

In the time it takes to make 1 latte, you'll make at least 3. Faster preparation gives room for more orders, more guests, more profit. Barista efficiency is a "win-win" strategy, and for the customer, the café owner and the barista themselves. Instead of the annoyed face of a long-waiting guest, the barista will be greeted by a pleased smile over a quickly prepared coffee. Usually with a fatter tip. ???? Not to mention reducing the barista's stress from the volume of orders.

Consistent quality of milk foam and coffee

Always equally perfect. This is what a cappuccino should be in a quality coffee shop. How do you achieve this when the work shifts are constantly changing throughout the year? Seasonal temps and staff turnover do little to maintain product consistency in a café. Yet the cost of training and educating new baristas is not negligible either. Automated milk churning is the way to maintain consistently great coffee quality despite these common problems in coffee shops.

The perfect taste of whipped milk

Machine-whipped milk has the advantage of repeatable precision. This means that the milk will always taste just as great. Unlike manual whisking with a teapot, where even a slight over-whipping can mean an unpleasantly bitter to burnt taste in the resulting cappuccino. The milk from an automatic frother has the same characteristics every time.You can also adjust the output temperature settingto the specific milk used and always have a milk froth with perfect flavour.

Loss and errors of manual milk frothing

The really big advantage of automatic milk churning machines is minimizing losses on residue. And this is something that every coffee shop will see in the financials almost as soon as they introduce an automatic frother into the coffee making process. The leftoversfrom traditional milk frothing, including poorly whipped or spilled milk, would add up to a pretty penny at the end of the day when converted to money. Frothed milk makers, on the other hand, dispense the exact volume of milk you need. So you'll save money and be one step closer to a zero-waste business again.

Maximising café guest satisfaction

Happy customer, happy café owner. This equation always holds true. For one thing, it's increasing café guest satisfaction through speed (see point 1). But it's also the breadth of the beverage offer. In your quest for efficiency, do you limit the amount of products so that the café staff can prepare everything? Think about automating the milk churning instead.

Milk beverages are the most frequently ordered in cafes. You can expand your offer with other options like matcha lattes and other trendy drinks. By automating the whipping, baristas can spend the time saved on preparing other products or directly communicating with the customer to increase customer satisfaction and cafésales.

What are the technologies of automatic milk froth production

There are basically two ways to get an automatic milk frother. Either as a part of the coffee machine or buy a standalone milk frother. An automatic milk frother integrated into the coffee maker is cheaper. This is due to the fact that it is built on a ready-made base, thus using a heat source and the coffee maker itself. It is simply an improvement on it and therefore only worth the price of the extra equipment.However, the external standalone milk frother provides more power and sophisticated features for whipping milk.

Stand-alone milk frothers

Also among stand-alone milk frothers, a little categorization can be done. There are two ways of whipping milk. The technology can replicate the whipping style of a barista by using an automatic steam nozzle. Or it works as a kind of dispenser of already finished and foamed milk inside the producer. Steam nozzle frothers are cheaper, with a price difference of about 25,000 CZK compared to dispenser technology.
