Love how you did the Mach - never seen that technique before, but it works magnificently!

can i put the sugar in the milk then froth it instead of in an espresso?

[oziguana]

hi mate. i have never tried putting sugar in the milk and then frothing it, but it sounds like a bad idea for a number of reasons.

• the milk would be unusable for subsequent coffees: you would not be able to do milk for a latte with 2 sugars and a cap with none, as sugar would be in all the milk

• the sugar may not completely dissolve, or worse may begin to caramelise under the pressure and heat of steaming

• its just not the done thing. LOL

Cheers for the comments!

also, it is possible that some sugar could make it's way into the boiler, hardly ideal!!

this is a bomb machine, our stores have a double or triple marzocco automatic as the centerpiece of the bar... just totally raw
