  • This should be titled how NOT to steam milk.

    #1. Crappy steamer

    #2. You should create a micro-foam texture mixed evenly throughout, not a layer of foam on top.

    #3. Is he seriously foaming milk in a glass container?

    #4. The milk should create a vortex while steaming.

    #5. You should never steam milk higher than 160, it will burn. The sugars are extracted at 150-155 and should always be in that range.

  • No, you really can't. Can you pour art? Can you pull espresso that barista championship winners will compliment you on? I don't think so.

    But yes, I will make your coffee. You will pay me for it. And it will be the best coffee you've ever had.

    And if your shit really is like that, you should see a doctor.

  • How are you gonna hate on the mans's cup of coffee!? HAHA!

  • Fail.

  • It's so funny to see someone thinking he's a coffee expert because he just bought his ridiculous 30$ steam-driven espresso machine...

    At least buy a decent pump-driven machine... and buy a real pitcher. Would you show someone to win a car race with an electric car ?

  • thanks!!! very nice video!

  • Right on Quaalude. Elitists are like pros, but they think they're above pros. Frothing milk is almost an important talent, but really not difficult enough as to take long to master, thus no-one will care for long. Elitists are douchebags usually, to summarise.

  • talking about quaalude's comment, of course. Not Gingers.

  • hahaha soooo true.

  • LOL at all you coffee snobs. Do you think your "special" because you can steam milk? I hate to bust your bubble, but its not exactly a ground breaking hobby or job.

    I use a $90 machine and I can out froth you any day. My shit is like silky velvetness from heaven.

    Now go make my coffee barista bitches and stop whining.
