Key ideas in The Oatmilk Shaken Espresso

  • Shaking introduces air into the espresso
  • Aeration transforms the liquid into a thick, velvety foam texture
  • The defining characteristic of a shaken espresso
  • Ice and syrup must be in the shaker first
  • The cold ingredients act as a buffer to immediately cool the hot espresso
  • The correct sequence to protect the espresso flavor
  • Oatmilk is added to the glass after the shaken coffee is poured
  • Fresh espresso contains crema/oils
  • Adding it last creates a 'float' that marbles through the foam for a visual gradient
  • These oils are the 'glue' that allows the foam to hold its shape after shaking
  • The visual and textural purpose of the oatmilk float
  • Two shots of espresso provide the necessary strength
  • A half-cup of oatmilk is the maximum amount to maintain a coffee-forward taste
  • Why fresh espresso is necessary for foam structure
  • The ratio of coffee to oatmilk for balanced flavor
  • Horizontal shaking creates more turbulence than vertical shaking
