Paperboard

Paperboard is (like paper) a 'vegetable-fibre web' formed from a water suspension. While there is no rigid differentiation between paper and paperboard, paperboard is generally thicker (usually over 0.25 mm or 10 points) than paper. According to ISO standards, paperboard is a paper with a basis weight (grammage) above 224 g/m², but there are exceptions.^[1] Paperboard can be single or multi-ply. Paperboard used for the manufacture of folding cartons and rigid set-up boxes is often called boxboard. Paperboards used for the manufacture of corrugated fiberboard are called containerboard. It can be easily cut and formed, is lightweight, and is strong used in packaging. Another enduse would be graphic printing, such as book and magazine covers or postcards. Sometimes it is referred to as cardboard, which is a generic, lay term used to refer to any heavy paper pulp based board.

Microfoam

Microfoam, in coffee jargon, is a term used to describe an ideal standard for steamed milk. It is used for making espresso-based coffee drinks, particularly those with latte art. Although steamed milk can be made in a variety of ways, microfoam is by definition made using a steam wand on an espresso machine. It is created by denaturing milk proteins such as casein and whey; the protein attracts and holds gas on its surfaces, creating microfoam. Strictly speaking, microfoam is actually a very fine emulsion of denatured milk protein and air which has few or no visible bubbles.^{[citation needed]} The qualitative opposite of microfoam is macrofoam, which has visibly large bubbles, a style of milk commonly used for cappuccinos. During the steaming process, the foam phase naturally separates from the liquid phase, and rises to the surface. As a result, the pitcher is usually swirled in a smooth, circular motion until the mixture of foam and warmed milk becomes homogenous, before being added to a drink.
