Genuinely curious: why would you want to pasteurize your own milk? I get the “homemade cake” reasoning for desserts but I see very little benefit to pasteurizing milk yourself.


I don't care if it's pasteurized by me or someone else, I just don't want it homogenized. It's more fun that way.


You can pasteurize it yourself with very little extra effort when making espresso drinks, since you need to heat the milk with a steam wand anyway. The flavor and especially foam of a cappuccino are slightly better when made with self-pasteurized-while steaming raw milk vs equivalent non raw Jersey milk in my at home blind taste tests.


Note: it's not a blind test of you've tasted one of them before but not the other.


That's a good point.
