I'm glad...

Now I'm no expert, so please forgive me if I came off that way. I was just reading my comments. I sounded arrogant.

I heard of this method from the newsgroups and Ive been doing it this way ever since.

As a matter of fact I drink noting but Americanos (and an occasional Mocha, I pull the shot into the cocoa solution, then add the steamed milk.)

They are soo addicting!!

Take care-

Now I make mine a bit different-

I pull a double shot into a cup of hot water- and allow the Crema to form on top.

You don't lose that Crema-Crown and the taste is much- much richer.

I even go as far as to introduce the sugar into the hot water before pulling the shot; this way the finished drink appears more like a traditional Espresso.

To me that's what separates "Gourmet," from Traditional drip grind.

The presentation.
