How do you make froth for coffee?

Question: How to make coffee with foam on the surface? -- BarbaraAnswer: The only bad news is that you won't be able to make froth to serve on top of your coffee without an espresso machine. This froth is typically from heated skim milk. The heat makes sure that this milk won't cool the coffee when it's added, and it creates the froth from the surface of the milk. To do this requires steamed water, and drip brewers are not designed to do this. Espresso machines which are often used to make cappuccinos are equipped with a setting to take the water you pour into the machine and push it out of a milk frother as steam. So, the short answer is that you will need to buy an espresso machine. If it's your first one, I recommend the Mr. Coffee Espresso Machine...by no means top of the line but a great starter with surprising value for what you pay.
