Fresh or Powdered Milk - How will you create your coffee shop experience?

Updated: Dec 21, 2021


Whole milk is a barista’s best friend when it comes to making fresh coffee, with around 4 percent fat, a richness of texture and a great pick for professional coffee makers.  A litre of milk can make around four lattes, or cappuccinos, so it is important you stock up!
Fresh Milk or Powdered Milk?

There is nothing quite like the enticing smell of freshly brewed coffee – Millions of us struggle each day until we have had that first energising sip in the morning! That explains why we Brits combine this with our love of queuing and head to one of the many Coffee shops every morning to get our fix. One in ten of us prioritise having this inviting tasty beverage over getting to the office on time, gladly waiting up to 30 minutes for the perfect cup! The solution can be to bring the coffee shop to the workplace and with the extensive options of machines now available it has never been easier to do.

Creating the perfect Coffee shop experience in the workplace or for clients sets the tone for your business environment and is also a great way to engage employees, as well as being cost saving and time effective for your colleagues, clients and the business. Deciding on the best machine, coffee quality and of course the milk can be a challenge, as more often than not using the same equipment as a coffee shop Barista is not always appropriate or suitable for the office environment - this can be due to maintenance and cleaning time. One of the main decisions in the selection process is the debate for fresh milk verses powdered. Fresh milk is selected as the premium choice but correct temperature storage and time consuming daily cleaning can be negatives that have to be countered. A great tasting, coffee shop style beverage at work without using fresh milk in a bean to cup machine with the use of powdered milk, is now possible and has many positives.

Powdered milk or dried milk is a manufactured dairy product which is made by evaporating milk until it is a dried powder. The drying of milk is done to preserve it and extend the shelf life as well as removing the need for refrigeration and easing bulky transport and costs. Most milk powders contain all 21 standard amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins, and are high in soluble vitamins and key minerals, with the variation in content from comparing powdered whole milk verses non-fat milk*.

Fresh milk however does have a richer and more distinguished flavour, but has a shorter shelf life and higher cost than dry milk. Both types of milk offer important nutritional value, but fresh milk serves as a slightly better source of some key nutrients, as there is a higher content of bioactive components in fresh milk verses milk powder, as fresh milk includes slightly more B-complex vitamins, particularly B-5 and B-12*.
