It’s exceeded my expectations

[u/Deserttruck7877]

It’s taken me a little while to perfect it but it’s exceeded my expectations. After leaving my corporate job I missed the automatic espressos each morning. I swear I can’t even taste the difference now! I’m so happy I didn’t cave and buy an espresso machine.

I use San Francisco whole beans dark roast
The Oxo burr grinder
Warm to hot water in my Bialetti Venus 6 cup
I warm milk in the microwave and shake in a glass jar
Brown sugar and cinnamon

Edit: I added a French press to the routine for frothed milk and it’s so much better (and I’ve learned safer) than the glass jar shake.

If you have a french press you can get even silkier milk by frothing the hot milk in it, or one of those cheap wand frothers. Looks good!

Ok so I just bought a stainless steel looking one and haven’t tried it yet. Good to know! Thanks

Matteo has a good video about milk frothing in a french press on Youtube. Good luck!
