Just to let everyone know the froth was done with an Aerolatte. Great little device
I use this as well...nice little toy to get that foamy topping in just a few seconds. I tend to microwave it for about 20 seconds and then use the tool...foams up like a professional and then sprinkle some cinnamon and chocolate flakes on top...sometimes just a dip of caramel.....oh baby!
I heat the milk / half and half to 140 degrees then froth. Depends on how hot you want the cappuccino. That Aerolatte was the best $20 I spent.
What coffee do you use?
I use half and half as well even though the "experts" say to use 1% milk...blechhhh. I like my coffee and cappuccino hot so I spent about 15 minutes one day just getting the "right" temp on the 1/2 and 1/2...how many seconds and 20 seconds seemed to be the right amount of time on HIGH. I keep fresh batteries in my Aerolatte so it whips it up and gets real foamy. Since I travel to so many places I buy a lot of coffee and Blue Mounain Jamaican is my favorite so far but there are a ton out there. I go to Trader Joes and Whole Foods and stick my head in those coffee barrels and soak up all the goodness...if it smells good I get 8 ounces.
Sweet. I get JBM from Jamaica when a friend goes back to visit family. His friend owns a coffee plantation
I also like Cost Rican, Guatemalan, Kona
What do you use for espresso
