Bobbo_SA Posted February 4, 2015 Share Nespresso capsule will be just as stale.... they are stale in the shop... But it's a fun geek project I guess..... not for me, but.... :) Agreed, still better than Frisco, or that Nescafe instant rubbish. Will make a plan some day to take you up on the offer of a decent brew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted February 4, 2015 Share The least you can do for yourself Bobbo, is to get a little french press, a little grinder and then buy your own coffee. Hell, even pre-ground coffee is better than plastic coffee! rouxtjie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted February 4, 2015 Share well thanks to you lot i now count the hours to get home to get my shot in,,,,,,,,i WAS HAPPY TILL YOU SNOBS TURNED ME OKES THIS MILK //FROTH THING IS COSTING ME LOTS OF MONEY I need to get back to my instructor, i am a legend in the coffee part the froth not soo much Lekker man dips The hard part for me is consistency ito shot quality....frothing, piece of tekkie. Fill jug to half, wait till steam is properly going, quickly insert nozzle, just stretch and air small bits...then when milk is warm, blixem jug on granite top to get rid of biggish bubbles, roll the milk, blixem again, roll some more, give one last hard blixem... Silk comes out of jug....lekker micro bubble smoofness Edited February 4, 2015 by rouxtjie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took it off and am now running with just the bare steam wand and it is working very lekker ..... getting the milk just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V12man Posted February 4, 2015 Share Another option is programming the wife to wakeup when the alarm goes off and promptly proceed to making you a coffee in bed.......I would be more likely to get kicked than coffee...... unless it gets dropped on me in bed.... at McDonalds temperatures...

DIPSLICK Posted February 4, 2015 Share jokes aside if he does the liquid soap and water thing and puts it next to milk, i will put money on the fact that you will get a good couple of glasses of soap cause it will be a 50/50 thing cause you cant tell the difference visually rouxtjie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also practice pouring latte art with the soap - use soy sauce as espresso.... find a cheap one and dilute it with water .... And if you want practice using milk - get a bunch of kids - make hot chocolate..... just make "espresso" by disolving the hot chocolate in hot water first..... kids go nuts for the stuff.... well - some do anyway... only 1 of mine likes it...
