What I learnt today

Cuisinart has fantastic customer service! I lost the little metal part to the foaming wand of my espresso maker (not sure how I did that actually). I called them to see if I could order just that part, because I LOVE the machine and I got a really nice lady (yes I spoke with a human). She is going to send it to me for FREE!

Everyone swears by the Nespresso machine. I think that is automatic. I like doing it the old fashioned way (and I have mastered the art of foam...next to works on Latte art!) so that is why I got the Cuisinart this one www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-EM-100-1000-Watt-Espresso-Stainless/dp/B000MX3HOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371918254&sr=8-1&keywords=cuisinart+em-100

I have it two years and it make a flawless Latte. Perfect foam. I just think the more bells and whistles the machine has the faster it breaks and the more expensive it is to keep using.

Well if it is what I think Melly means it means the foam gets put in the cup first then the espresso then foam again. It means there is too much milk. hahaha  For me anyway. I like either espresso or the Latte which is espresso first then the steamed milk on top. 

you never drink a caffe macchiato in a small mug and Pipperoo had the good definition because here we say the same

here coffee is a sort of art, the bartenders attend a course to make coffee in the right way
Espresso is definitely italian thing what remains is just a bad imitation

I drunk espresso out of italy, the only places it wa acceptable were in the segafredo points in munich an cologne and...the owners were italian

in madrid was quite dirty water and in mostly in munich and cologne too
