CoffeeKid - Frothing in a Civil Way (#)
„Not because they are putting down the art of frothing milk, but because it's so easy to get frustrated by it all. Frothing milk for your cappas and lattes really is an art, but it's an art that can be learned. With enough patience and finesse, even a stovetop steamer or a "steam toy" (one of those budget espresso machines you see at Walmart for $39 by companies like Salton and Delonghi) can produce great foam and steamed milk. That's right folks, you don't necessarily need a $1200 Pasquini Livia 90 or a $400 Rancilio Silvia.“

„As your skill level and familiarity with your equipment increase you'll be able to crank out lattes and cappuccinos *almost* like a pro. Frothing milk is another technique you will need to practice privately prior to performing in public. Most home machines just can't put out the volume of dry steam that professional machines effortlessly spew so you may never achieve stardom as a cappuccino master. The chemical changes milk's elemental parts undergo during steaming are topics for someone else's FAQ but I think you will find steamed milk tastes much better than milk that has been microwaved or heated in a pan.“

CoffeeKid - The Livia 90 Arrives!
„I also find that when we have houseguests or dinner guests, banging out 4 cappas is a bit of a stretch with the Silvia, at least at the standards I want to keep. Doing 4 cappas means that at least two of my shots are going to be sitting in their cappa cups for about 2+ minutes before I'll have enough milk frothed to "cap" them. Most people wouldn't bitch about this, and compared to cheaper machines or machines with smaller boilers, this turnaround time is pretty fast, but I want even faster, and that means commercial quality machines.“

„Espressos, Caffe Lattes, Capuccinos are made with the touch of a button, and with automatic milk frothing all the guess work is taken out. But for the Barista Azkoyen has given them the option of the traditional steam wand.“
