  1. Great tips, I've been perfecting my foam for the last 3 months, and one tip I have is to make your foam first, then pull your shots, that way the shots don't get bitter, and the foam and the steamed milk have time to separate, making your foam even more dry!

    Swirling a few ice cubes around in the pitcher for about 20 seconds works if you don't have a freezer!

  2. they think that making these fancy coffee drinks is complicated as they watch the barista behind the counter churning out lattes and cappuccinos. And this leads them to mistakenly believe that the only place they can get these types of specialty coffees is in a coffee shop or Starbucks. cappuccino maker
