The importance of consistency in your coffee is vital when keeping loyal customers and attracting new ones. Start making bad coffee and what you thought were loyal customers will almost disappear overnight. Word of Mouth advertising in the coffee industry can make or break Cafes, as Coffee lovers are always searching for that perfect cup to start their day.
Changing the Milk temperature in a coffee just a few degrees will change the texture of the Coffee and more importantly the flavour! Cafe owners go to a lot of trouble picking the right beans, finding the right machine and training staff but without a Coffee Thermometer your barista could be burning the milk. Soy, oat, almond and rice milk need to be at a different temperature than regular milk to make that perfect coffee. Many experienced baristas say by the feel of the jug they can tell the right temperature but if it's a cold morning your hands are more sensitive, if it's a hot day your hands will feel heat differently. This will lead to milk being heated up to a different temperature each time they make a coffee. According to the ABC some customers are even giving Baristas temperature requests.
