Helpful tips
- Make sure that the whipped cream does not break the surface of the coffee. This may take some time to accomplish but with practice, you will get there.
- Try using a warm spoon to add the whipped cream.
- Try pouring the whip cream over the back of a spoon to help the cream float rather sink into the coffee mixture.
