Made 2 capachinos earlier, wifey was well impressed and hinted that I may be on a promise in the next 24 months or so 
, as long as the Coffee keeps coming.
Who can say that good Coffee doesnāt have its benefits 
, but Iām 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. Butā¦ā¦ 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 Brevilleās.
I have
Cafetiere (french press)
Bialetti
Drip
Pour over
Cold brew
Espresso
And i stil drink instant when i dont have time 
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 
I actually really like the Nescafe instant espresso. Im not much of an instant coffee kind of gal but the instant espresso is actually very good!!
I also like the aldi brand have you ever tried it?
One of the only ones ive been able to make strong without it being overly bitterā¦
No i havent tried that brand! Ill have to look into that 
I wonder if i can get it at Walmart. Is it already ground?
I meant Aldi store brand.
Is Aldi a store where you live?
Most of what they offer isnāt āname brandā but a lot of times i prefer it to the big names 
Since i cant upload a screenshot without downloading another picture maker and uploading and editing it thereā¦ heres a link
Not often. But I do keep this in the house. Just in case I need a quickie in the afternoon. But itās been awhile.
@Mno @Scorpn My wife brought me a can of Starbucks instant..but a crisis requiring its sampling has not yet manifest
That pot is more Dutch than apple pie 
I have a Bialetti Kitty Espresso maker. A French Press. Different beans.
My preference. My store brand Classic Roast instant, Product of Mexico. 
100% Pure Coffee.
I love it, make it strong. Love the taste.
Plus in one minute itās ready. Ok 1.30 minutes. From the time I take the cup off the shelf until the time Iām 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! 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 
(sometimes i add splenda or sugar free syrups also these days)
One of the girls has decided that she needs a daily before school coffee run
And she has been buying me coffees this week 
On the coffee snob scale ..
Iād give Dunkin a 4/10
Itās hit or miss. But you canāt argue with
Happy Friday friends 
Hey my fellow sober coffee lovers and caffeine addicts, oh wait theyāre the same thing 
As you may know Iāve been in and out of hospital like a fucking yo-you and their coffee is wank with a capital wank.
So Iāve been treating myself when Iām home. I finally splashed out and bought a pressure espresso maker with milk frother 
To go with it Iāve bought some Skull Crusher coffee and some Devils Roast, 500g from a London company called āGrindā and 750g of āGrano Milano Ground Coffee Espresso Forte Arabica and Robusta Made in Italyā from amazon and itās surprising very very good, not too bitter just a rounded flavour and pretty high in caffeine.
I think we need to resurrect this thread.
So, Iāve finally bookmarked it, lost all my BMs in the fiasco which is the new version of the app 
So, @SoberGuyUSA @Scorpn and @Alisa @BobT @Mno and @Butterflymoonwoman I hope youāre all well and observing our daily ritual several times a day
@bluekoolaid_88 your welcome to the the party 
&
what a delicious roast
You know it
Sorry youāve been sick 
That sounds like a fancy machine! 
And devils roast seems right up my alley
Iām here for this thread whenever and also have it book marked
And as far as āobserving our daily ritualā
Yesterday I went to get a coffee with one of my kids. She left her phone and we realized when we got home. (5 min drive) And when we went back to get her phone I got another coffee for the ride
(They were just espresso, water, ice or "Americano"s)
Happy Tuesday coffee snobs 
Good to hear from you and thanks for the advice. Iāve been enjoying my normal brew but it is not so exotic!
One week until the movers show up. Things are mighty tense around hereā¦
Drink more, much more coffee, itās always the answer
Hope the move goes well and you and your possessions get to where youāre going to intact
