Raw Milk in Coffee: A Barista’s Take

Raw Milk in Coffee: A Barista’s Take

Once you've had your morning coffee with raw milk, ordinary milk can feel a little flat. Here's why — and how to get the best from it in the cup.

Why it's a treat in coffee

Because our milk is unhomogenised, there's a layer of real cream at the top of every bottle. Pour that into an espresso and you get a richness and natural sweetness that low-fat, homogenised milk simply can't match. The fuller fat also carries flavour, so the coffee tastes rounder.

Frothing & steaming tips

  • Shake or pour. Shake the bottle for an even whole milk, or pour just the cream line for an extra-luxurious flat white.
  • Start cold. Cold milk straight from the fridge gives you more time to texture it before it heats.
  • Don't overheat. Aim for around 60–65°C. Scalding the milk dulls its natural sweetness.
  • Whole milk froths best. The fat gives a glossy, velvety microfoam; skimmed froths up airier and lighter.

No machine? No problem

Warm the milk gently in a pan, then froth with a handheld frother or by shaking it hard in a sealed jar and microwaving the foam for a few seconds to set it. You'll still get a lovely cap of foam.

The cream line turns a home coffee into something that tastes like a café flat white.
