… do the honourable thing and use gold top milk. Yes, we know it has a little more fat, but we firmly subscribe to quality over quantity

If you must have cappuccino-flatwhite-latte, then limit it to one a day and do it in style with some gold top milk

The higher fat content will help you steam the milk to produce a textured foam so dense you could walk on it

Skimmed milks have a light papery taste that will only ever produce a mean, synthetic, thin-tasting beverage

Full fat milk from Guernsey & Jersey is also used by establishments like Monmouth Coffee Company for the simple reason that a lot of punters who say they ‘love the coffee’ actually love the full fat creamy taste of the milk. Other places don’t use it because it costs more and suffer as a result.
