# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It transforms ordinary instant coffee into something luxurious and Instagram-worthy without any fancy equipment.
  • The whipping process is genuinely meditative—five minutes of whisking becomes a small ritual that slows you down.
  • It tastes like a dessert but technically counts as breakfast.
02 -
  • The sugar isn't optional—it's the stabilizer that makes the whole thing hold together; without it, you'll just have frothy coffee that collapses within seconds.
  • Whisking speed matters more than arm strength; steady, consistent motion for a few minutes beats frantic thrashing for thirty seconds.
  • If your whipped coffee falls flat, it usually means either the sugar-to-coffee ratio got disrupted or the bowl had a hint of grease in it.
03 -
  • Cold water instead of hot won't work—the hot water is essential for dissolving the coffee and sugar so they emulsify properly during whisking.
  • If you're using a milk frother, the little whisk attachment works beautifully, but a regular whisk and some elbow grease is just as valid.
