Frozenbeernuts 2,112 Posted March 22 This little battery powered espresso maker is great. It makes good espresso quickly without spending a ton for a whole setup. I wouldn't use the heating element because it kills the battery with one use. I heat my water up in our kettle and then pour it into the devise already hot. https://a.co/d/0VT08oP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right around 8:00 and again around 10:00. I use a Nespresso. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you use the milk frother to make it foamy? I add a little honey and foam it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,674 Posted March 22 Better version of espresso is cafe con leche. Go to Spain and try it there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much the same or a pour over for breakfast. Nespresso makes a decent, easy espresso. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, just un caffe con latte caldo. 20 minutes ago, thegeneral said: Pretty much the same or a pour over for breakfast. Nespresso makes a decent, easy espresso. Yes, it does and the Nespresso is a sturdy machine. My previous unit lasted 12 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What possessed someone to make a cake with wet milk? Conceptually it sounds like a terrible idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, that’s def not what you said. Not sure where “over here” is for you but if it’s America, espresso based beverages are not more espresso than milk. A standard espresso shot is roughly 1.15 ounces. If you get a double in a latte or something, you’re still getting far more milk than espresso. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, The topic was espresso so I was talking espresso only which is a shot of strong, high concentration coffee, obviously. cafe con leche is espresso with scalded milk, not foamed. Usually 50/50 or more milk. hence why I originally said if you want espresso a better version is cafe con leche. Perhaps I should have said “my favorite espresso drink is cafe con leche”. I figured that went without saying. I wasn’t comparing espresso based beverages BUT a latte for example is different than cafe con leche. Different milk ratios and foam vs no foam. Yes you are correct, a latte is going to be 2-1 milk or even more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
