Temperatures of steamed milk.

Posted by barista Dan on December 5, 2010 at 3:57pm in Barista Exchanges & Travel
I have found the right touch and on any machine can micro-bubble foam for a latte or cappucino as my portfolio demonstrates.  My question to the forum is what is the ideal temperature the milk should  be at when served?

I personally like my drinks not scalding, which is what some patrons of mine have become accustomed to.  If I make a latte for them, sometimes they ask me to heat it more.  I don't mind doing that because you want the client to be happy, though on a general principle, what temperature should a latte be served at?

Thanks for your insight, technicalities, and general feedback.
