www.DietCoffee.org http On Your Own: How To Make Cappuccino And Latte In The Comfort Of Your Own Home Without Going To Barista School Although cappuccino and latte are not the only drinks that coffee lovers crave, they are some of the most simple and mutable. A chocolate flavored latte is essentially a cafe mocha without the whipped cream. But I digress, let’s get to the drinks. We have to assume that you have the proper equipment first: a standard espresso machine capable of foaming milk, espresso beans that have been properly ground, milk (skim foam is best), and the flavoring of your choosing (if any). Both drinks begin the same. Fill the portafilter, as I call it, with the proper amount of espresso. Tamp down with enough pressure (technically it’s about twenty pounds throw your body into it a bit) to make the surface of the ground beans smooth. Place the filter into the machine. Place an espresso shot glass or cup underneath the filter to catch the espresso. Begin to steam the milk to a temperature that is no less than 140 degrees and as hot as you find pleasurable. THEN, turn the machine on to brew the espresso. The flavor is spoiled when the shots have to sit for more than thirty seconds. www.DietCoffee.org http

Kenno roasts green coffee beans into dark delicious ebony to make the ‘perfect’ cup of coffee in the Pavoni manual espresso device. This video shows you the how-2’s of perfecting your own home roast, like very one did before WWI & how to beat Starbuckets at it’s own game. But, this all time best in it’s class educational video also demonsrates the art of great editting and how drama can be placed in the mundane. Scorching hot, shiney black beans rise up from the roaster and drip through the cooling air to land in sultry abandon on the heat sink plate, before doing the grind into a sexy polished puck in the head of the Pavonni. As the hot water pours over their powdered bodies they release a steamy aroma of the finest quality and burst forth with abandon their suculant juices as only 20 grams of perfection can. Cream bubbles form the head and drops languidly into the cup. Latter, tehy meet and merge with frothy steamed milk and a little sugar, in a mix that says, oh oh oh my gods. Come, see for yourself!

Information quoted from Tom at Sweet Maria’s in CA: (www.sweetmarias.com) Suggested roast Full City+, or Darker. Prime Attribute: Bold Intensity / Fruity, earthy, rustic sweetness, spice The coffee is described as: “huge body, strong bittersweet chocolate roast-taste, and intense fruited aromatics” Also of note: ” And I hate to say it but we find the occasional small rock in this coffee. Be sure to cull through the green and the roasted carefully.” So, I will be double checking through this coffee before I put it in my grinder, I don’t want to find a stone when I hear it ripping up the burrs on my grinder.
