But what is it about milk that makes it so desirable? Think of it this way: cow’s milk is essentially a dietary supplement for young calves. With a cookie or a shot of espresso, milk is darn delicious. Before we get deep into the physics and chemistry of steaming, let’s start with the basics-the makeup of milk. Using a little science, we want to help answer those questions and more. So what really happens when you steam milk? Why does microfoam break down after a few minutes? And why does skim milk steam differently than whole? While we know a lot about the science of coffee, there doesn’t seem to be nearly as much information available about milk and milk steaming.
