what milk are you using?

Drake low fat el cheapo, steams well, tastes good and it's cheap, what's not to like? 😉

Didn't see it at Cafe Biz but spotted it yesterday at Coles. I'll try it soon.

Either Maleny Dairy's Gold top. Full cream unhomogenized Or there is another farmers direct one from the same region but the name escapes me for now, perhaps better than Maleny. Or A2 milk from supermarket if I can't get either of the other's

Maleny gold top is phenomenal! I just can't get it anywhere near me!

We had it at the Sunshine Coast meetup. I was suitably impressed, and now keep one in the cupboard for when we have guests who drink "real" milk. It steamed very well.

You can get it at IGA too in the UHT milk section. I was tempted, except my wife is lactose intolerant and I don't drink milk. Then again, I have taken to stretching Ollie's sippy cup of milk in the morning. Wonder if he'd appreciate some latte art?

My brothers son didn't appreciate it when he was staying at my place the other day. Apparently his babycino "would be better with marshmallows" when asked how it was :laugh:

Is it Cooloola milk? They are from Mary Valley, and it's my choice of milk. I buy the pasteurised only one, and because it's local (on Sunshine Coast) it has excellent date life. I've never had a problem steaming it. 🙂 Costs a bit but I would rather support local produce. My wife bought the Devondale baristas own UHT milk, so I cooled it down and tried it out with some of the milk drinkers at the social. No complaints (I don't think anyone even noticed it was UHT), and as RM said it steamed very well. I've got another one in the cupboard just in case I run out of milk, or some guests appear. 🙂

I grabbed a 2ltr bottle of Warrnambool Cheese and Butters Sungold Brand Jersey Milk. This milk is 3.7% protein and 4% fat - it just is devine to work with and has a different palate taste. http://www.sungoldmilk.com.au/23.html

No not Cooloola but that is goo too, and Bramba Organics also. The milk in question is Queensland Milk. Original style, Pasteurised. 242 Flaxton dr Flaxton Newish to market I believe, I get it from a local roaster Cleanskin Coffee who gets it in. Good price too at $4 per 2lts compared to Maleny milk (which by the way is good to do the tour if your are in Maleny)

Finally tried it (half way thru now). Agree it textures well but I tasted it by itself and there's something about it that didn't taste right. Must be all the UHTs it's full of. Still, in milk it's OK. I might consider it for an emergency supply.

I think the words 'ultra pasteurised' tell the story - agreed the milk textures well but if you smell it immediately after opening.... well, cheese is what it smells like!

Currently using Paris Creek from SA. Organic full cream.

Me too. Gets a bit variable over summer/calving season. I can live with that. I also love Tweedvale, another small independant Hills Dairy who produce unhomogenised milk. I tend to get theirs if BD Farm is unavailable, or depending on my mood that day ;D http://www.alongthegrapevine.com/stories/2009/tweedvale-milk/

When i lived in SA, we mainly used Tweedvale. We used to buy it from Kappy's, then from Foodland when they started to stock it. I prefer its taste over the Paris Creek. Norwood Foodland has a great variety of "boutique" milks.

I've been using A2 for a while and love it. It textures beautifully, has a great taste and unlike Procal, it's always consistent. Thankfully i get it at commercial rates because at $3 a litre it's a difficult purchase.

Does soya milk count? Guess that is a whole new thread on it's own, but for what it's worth, I use the Aldi Organic soya milk and it is great, and being Aldi, around $2 litre. I find when I buy coffee out made with soya milk, the milk often seems to "split" whereas with the Aldi one stays constant and foams well.

Using Jonseys milk and Bonsoy for people that need that.

Wife started to get Paul's lite because the doctor advised her to That lasted about a week and we are back to full cream again :thumb: The taste is definitely different between the two milks

shape_shifter

It's now a year and a half since I posted what milk I use. I am still using Paul's Farmhouse Gold. I keep trying others but nothing comes close, well nothing that I can buy here anyway.

We're still on Liddel's lactose free full cream. It's sweeter than normal milk but can be textured well, although it's not easy.
