    You don’t belong in coffee! We wonder why customers are misinformed about the coffee industy… This woman and her terrible instruction is why. Go work at Starbucks, where you can ruin drinks for snobs. Save the good coffee for people who care about good coffee. This is so sad.

    you can, what I usually do that I’ve found works a little better, is if you have a blender such as for smoothies, heat the milk up on the stove or in the microwave, then put it in the blender for a few minutes and this will make it thicker than if you were to heat it on the stove.

    Yeah you can. It froths too, just heat it until it starts bubbling and raising, then stop it so it doesn’t overflow.

    errrmmm…I’m a barista o.O

    You’re on the right track though. The more foam on the top, the dryer the cappuccino. So what some people would call a latte with a little foam on top is actually a very wet cappuccino.

    A latte, by definition, doesn’t have foam on top. The milk is steamed to AVOID air bubbles, and gives it a nice velvety consistency that you can make latte art in the crema with.

    that’s what I used to think, until i looked up the difference between a latte and cappuccino….the cappuccino is the one with the stiff foam on top according to a few chef websites..and the latte has only a thin foam layer on top…

    i was hoping at least the espresso part wouldn’t need a machine =S
    it would be easier to just go order one than learn how to do it with all the gadgets

    anyway, it looked delish =P

    Cool. I prefer my latte to have a bit of foam on the top though. Only about a half inch ;)
