All senses must be used in making your own favorite coffee at home. You need to use your sense of sight to make sure that the fluffy foam you are looking for is done and not just any bubbly milk. You also need to use your sense of hearing; you should be keen to listening on the sound your machine will make as you steam your milk. Whenever the sound is too muffled it is too deep and when it is too loud it isn’t deep enough.  The sweet spot in steamed milk isn’t stationary it moves around as the milk gets foamier so you need to learn to move along with it. Your sense to feel as you go with the flow of the milk as it is steamed. Lastly, your sense of taste will tell you if you did it the right way.
