Nice job Mike! I have found (thanks to you at the Espresso Bash) that pitcher size really helps in the steaming process. I now have 4 different sizes to use depending on the type of drink I am making or the number of drinks. One size doesn't do it all. Les On 10/26/06, miKe mcKoffee wrote: <Snip> |

Nice one Mike, I've had a little trouble regulating my valve to get = just a small amount, but will work on it some more because that looks = like a good technique.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. Thanks. Made Debi an after work macchiato this evening. Did much better = on the foam almost filling the little 3oz SS at the end of stretch & swirl! Actually, a tad over stretched it that time. Was a bit stiff but not all = the way to cotton dry stiff. It'll definitely take a bit of practice = "playing the steam valve" as well as tip depth etc. to get consistent results steaming 1oz at a time! But hey, it's way cool to be able to do it;-) miKe From: homeroast-admin [mailto:homeroast-admin] On Behalf Of Les Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 6:57 PM To: homeroast Subject: Re: 1oz milk 3oz pitcher steaming pics > RE: Home machiattos > = RE: +OT Liver Nice job Mike!

Can you pour a rosetta yet (assuming you bother with art)? I've found pouring art with a tiny (3oz too) pitcher and macchiattos to be much easier than with my normal 20oz pitcher. In fact, I find it easier to pour them with macchiattos than with cappuccinos. Hard to say why... --Derek On 10/27/06, miKe mcKoffee wrote: <Snip> n <Snip> the <Snip> E: <Snip> t <Snip> n <Snip> d <Snip> " <Snip> t <Snip> -- http://www.novernae.comHome of the Wandering Sloth |
Only steamed 1oz in 3oz SS twice so far and once too thin once too thick for art. Cappuccino wise I use 12oz pithcer steaming for a single, find get better micro-foam sizing pitcher to amount of milk steamed. Regardless, really just getting started practicing pour art, still more often than not poor art:-) But that's ok, it'll come AND if the milk properly steamed doesn't detract from the taste! Have served Debi some cappuccinos with very nice hearts lately, they be appropriate. miKe <Snip> |
