Making better Latte January 26, 2008
Nana Mizuguchi (Louisville, KY United States)
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have had this machine now for over three years. I always thought that I made a decent espresso and latte. After trying many different coffee blend, I have stuck with Peets coffee Arabian Mocha Sanani. I had some inconsistency with pulling shots but overall had been pleased.
I also thought that I was making some decent foamed milk.
Well all has changed. I recently noticed that steamed milk from latte bars had a creamier texture and flavor. I had a hard time recreating that with skin milk.
I have now improved my technique and it makes a world of a difference.
1. Leave machine on for at least 30m
2. Keep your milk cold
3. make sure you run the espresso part on prior to pulling shots (surfing)
4. Run your steamer prior to foaming milk.
5. Throw away your steaming wand (black part).
6. After flushing your steamer, place the pitcher at an angle with the wand just under the surface. You should get a rolling circular movement (whirlpool). This is critical. You must get this movement. Remember, your goal is to get micro foam, not giant bubbles. If your steamer seems anemic, stop and flush out by pressing the hot water button then wait a few seconds and start again.
7. Make sure you are ready to pull your shots. When the steaming part is done (temp 150-160), flush your espresso, wipe and then pull your shot.
8. Mean while, clean your wand, and start to tap and gently turn the pitcher in a circular motion. You should see shiny sheen to your milk.
It that simple, Now days I can't believe I was missing out on such great lattes. My wife can not believe that my milk is skin. She swears that i am using whole milk!!!
Try it. Don't give up.
Nana
