microfoam
Velvety milk texture
Microfoam is steamed milk with a velvety texture created by incorporating tiny air bubbles throughout, producing a glossy, paint-like consistency rather than stiff peaks of froth.
Baristas use microfoam for latte art, as its smooth surface holds poured designs: The heart in my cappuccino means someone took the time to get the microfoam right.
