Question

What do coffee shops put in coffee to make it thicker? do they add something before adding coffee milk water?

Answer 1

I think they add Coffee Mate powder to it.

Answer 2

Frothy milk

Answer 3

Soya milk?

I think that what makes it thicker, either that or its just the way its became blended. Frothy milk, or cream .. no idea.

Answer 4

They blast it with steam,  this boils the milk, and the air bubbles thicken it.  The steam blows air into the milk. Creating a frothy drink.

Answer 5

You too can make thick drinks look in your Betterware or Kleeneze book for the battery mini Aerolatte whisk sometimes on QVC also  you place the whisk in the bottom of the cup and bring it up and down the cup and in a couple of minutes it grows and thickens  Yes it grows so only half fill your cup/glass to start with as you drink is full of air and thick bit of a con really pub have restrictions on the head on a pint of beer but coffee houses serve Thoth at silly prices

Answer 6

The coffee is made from fresh ground coffee beans, and an espresso (the small shot of strong coffee) is the base for most coffee drinks. The milk is heated up in a jug using a steamer, and if the the steamer is at the bottom of the milk jug it just warms the milk. If the steamer is near the top of the milk jug, just under the surface of the milk, it froths it, by putting lots of hot air into the milk. This makes if thick and bubbly. To make a latte, you top the espresso up with steamed milk with a little bit of froth on top. For a cappuccino, it is 1 third coffee, 1 third steamed milk and 1 third frothed milk. This is what makes it appear thick and creamy. You can also make thick hot chocolate this way too - yummy!!
