Got this idea from suzi and the guy who sits with me at work who loved in milan. I love good coffee but it is an art and a skill. Anybody else anal about the drink can share here there tips...
firstly suzi can tell me about her special press. My big coffee tip. Well if you liek cappaccino get one of these... La Cafetiere Bialetti Tuttocrema Frothing Jug, Teflon Non Stick Surface and Double Filter For Extra Frothy Milk this makes the best froth ever and widely used in Milan by the ordianry folk... |

Vittoria arabica beans, grind fine, (or just buy their espresso grind if you can't be fagged grinding them) 3 heaped teaspoons in a 3-cup plunger, half fill with boiling water, stir vigorously, let it settle...warm a big mug with some boiling water, tip it out and put in a teaspoon of Beechworth honey leaving the spoon in the mug; plunge the plunger, pour the brew, stir for a while as honey doesn't dissolve as quick as sugar, add a splash of skimmed milk and sup it.
Not sure if you can get Vittoria beans or Beechworth honey outside Australia, but you can probably get something equally good. |

Nespresso machine and coffee very good: Nespresso attempts to give you a lifestyle (you can only get it in two shops in London or online/mail order and they keep sending you a wankers' magazine with George Clooney in it) execrable. It's like instant espresso, don. No hassle at all. Except for the feckin' marketin'. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/20...6/drink.comment just about covers it. |
