Neighborhood Coffeehouse Gos-Sipping

Made 2 capachinos earlier, wifey was well impressed and hinted that I may be on a promise in the next 24 months or so :roll_eyes:, as long as the Coffee keeps coming.

Who can say that good Coffee doesn’t have its benefits :thinking:, but I’m still not holding my breath.

@Scorpn can you make hot milk without throth with the aforesaid nozzle or do I have to heat is seperatly?

Thanks for this tip.
I knew that. But…… the settings on my new machine must be different. I went to a much coarser grind this morning and got a lovely frothy gorgeous double espresso. I always thought it had to be a fine grind. And I guess all machines are different even if they are both Breville’s.

If you have a milk steamer attached to the machine, you should aerate it because if you dont it can scald the milk (if it is screaming its scalding)

So if you dont want foam, either hold it back after youve steamed the milk with a spoon when pouring, tap the pitcher you heated it in against the counter a few times to separate the foam, or just warm it in the microwave or the stove to avoid the froth :wink:

I meant Aldi store brand.
Is Aldi a store where you live?
Most of what they offer isn’t ā€œname brandā€ but a lot of times i prefer it to the big names :slightly_smiling_face:

Not often. But I do keep this in the house. Just in case I need a quickie in the afternoon. But it’s been awhile.

I have a Bialetti Kitty Espresso maker. A French Press. Different beans.
My preference. My store brand Classic Roast instant, Product of Mexico. :mexico: 100% Pure Coffee.
I love it, make it strong. Love the taste.
Plus in one minute it’s ready. Ok 1.30 minutes. From the time I take the cup off the shelf until the time I’m drinking it.
Also, on occasion, in the afternoon or if I have a headache, I will put it in some almond milk, and that is delicious.
One cup to clean also.

I wish i could be like you! :sweat_smile: i an very much a lose my coffee and have to make another cup halfway through kind of person.
I do eventually find (and drink) all of the half cups, but then i have many dishes haha

Ps. I have also recently moved to almond milk from oat milk. And have been happy with the flavor :blush: (sometimes i add splenda or sugar free syrups also these days)
