Description
A professional-grade accessory designed to create silky smooth cold foam, enhancing your beverage offerings in the UK hospitality industry.
Effortless Cold Foam Creation
The Blendtec Frothing Jar transforms 150ml of cold skimmed milk (ideally 0% fat) into a thick, mousse-like foam in just 18 seconds. This quick and efficient process allows you to craft the perfect cold foam to top iced coffees, teas, and other chilled beverages, adding a creamy texture without the need for additional cream or high-fat ingredients.
Innovative Design for Superior Frothing
Featuring a 2-litre capacity, the Frothing Jar combines the volume of Blendtec’s FourSide Jar with an innovative stainless steel blade. The 7.2 cm diameter blade includes a unique “wave” bend, enhancing its frothing capabilities by easily doubling the volume of many liquids. This design is not only ideal for creating cold foam but also excels at whipping cream, preparing hot chocolate, syrups, and more.
Batch Production for High-Volume Service
With its generous capacity, the Frothing Jar enables batch production of frothed liquids, allowing you to serve multiple customers efficiently. Instead of preparing single servings repeatedly, you can now produce larger quantities of cold foam or other frothed beverages, streamlining your service during busy periods.
Simple Operation and Maintenance
The Frothing Jar is designed for ease of use and maintenance. Its straightforward operation allows staff to quickly create cold foam with minimal training, making it a practical addition to any commercial kitchen or café. The jar is also easy to clean, ensuring it remains hygienic and ready for use throughout the day.
Enhance Your Beverage Menu
Incorporating cold foam into your beverage offerings provides a low-fat, low-sugar alternative to traditional whipped toppings. This versatile addition can elevate the presentation and texture of your drinks, appealing to health-conscious customers and those seeking new taste experiences. The Frothing Jar makes it simple to introduce this popular trend to your menu, setting your establishment apart from the competition.
Cold Foam: FAQ for Hospitality Professionals
What is cold foam?
Cold foam is the chilled equivalent of steamed milk, designed to top iced drinks with a light, velvety texture. It’s perfect for replacing traditional hot milk froth in iced cappuccinos, adding a premium touch to your menu.
How can I use cold foam in my business?
Cold foam offers a low-fat, low-sugar way to elevate drinks, providing an eye-catching finish with a smooth, creamy texture. Use it as a decorative topping on iced coffees, frappés, and speciality drinks, or serve it as a standalone beverage for a unique customer experience.
Do I need a new blender to make cold foam?
No. The Blendtec Cold Foam Jar is compatible with any Blendtec blender, so there’s no need to invest in new equipment—just add the jar to your existing setup.
Why does skimmed milk work best?
Milk with higher fat content, such as semi-skimmed or whole milk, is less effective at forming cold foam. Fat weakens the protein structure, reducing its ability to trap air. For best results, always use 0% fat milk or skimmed milk, which ensures the lightest and most stable foam.
Can I use dairy-free milk alternatives?
Most dairy-free milks struggle to create cold foam due to their protein-to-fat ratio. However, some barista-style plant-based milks may work. We recommend testing different brands to find a formula that suits your menu.
Is cold foam a low-fat option?
Yes! Cold foam is made with skimmed or 0% fat milk, making it an almost fat-free alternative to traditional whipped toppings. The overall calorie content of your drink depends on what you serve it with.
Does the Blendtec Cold Foam Jar work with other blender brands?
The Cold Foam Jar is exclusively designed for Blendtec blenders. While the Blendtec Rebel+ jar is compatible with Vitamix, it does not produce cold foam.
Does cold foam float on top of drinks?
Yes, cold foam sits on top of iced drinks, just like whipped cream—but with a lighter, silkier texture. It’s a fantastic low-fat alternative to whipped cream for hot chocolates and iced coffees.
Can I use cold foam on hot drinks?
Absolutely! Cold foam pairs beautifully with hot coffee or hot chocolate. However, it will melt into the drink more quickly than on cold beverages, much like whipped cream.
Can I make cold foam with warm milk?
No, cold foam must be made with chilled milk. Cold milk is more viscous, which helps trap air bubbles and create the stable foam texture. Always keep your milk refrigerated for best results.
Is cold foam popular with customers?
Yes! Cold foam is already featured on menus at Starbucks and Costa, and with the growing demand for lower-sugar, lower-fat options, it’s set to become a staple in hospitality. Adding cold foam to your drinks menu can give you a competitive edge.
Does cold foam melt?
Cold foam won’t fully revert back to milk, but it may lose its glossy, peaked texture over time.
Can I use the Cold Foam Jar for blended drinks?
No, the Cold Foam Jar is specially designed for making cold foam only. Regular Blendtec jars cannot be used to create cold foam.
Can I flavour cold foam?
Yes! Cold foam can be flavoured for a unique twist—just use a small amount to avoid disrupting the foam structure. For premium results, we recommend Sweetbird syrups, which blend smoothly into the foam without affecting texture.
How many drinks can I make with one portion of cold foam?
A 150ml portion of skimmed or 0% fat milk creates enough cold foam to fill a 12oz (330ml) cup or generously top two iced drinks.
Can I make multiple portions at once?
Yes, we’ve successfully made double portions using 300ml skimmed milk. However, the best results come from making a single 150ml serve at a time.
Can I prepare cold foam in advance?
No, cold foam is best made fresh to order. If left to sit, it starts to separate, creating a layer of liquid at the bottom that can dilute the drink.
How long does cold foam last?
Long enough for customers to enjoy it until the last sip! Cold foam holds its texture well throughout the drinking experience.
Can I make cold foam with less than 150ml of milk?
Yes, as long as the Blendtec blade is fully covered, you can create a smaller portion of cold foam.
