Re: Coffee

little bit of both, the crema from the coffee and the froth from the milk are both important to make good latte art.
good crema comes when it is extracted using high pressure such as in espresso machines, the key difference between that and ppl pressing coffee grounds in cups etc is that the latter approach releases too much of the acidity and the taste of the coffee is compromised. may not be an issue for many people. I am spoiled :D

Re: Coffee

was recently introduced to straight black coffee brewed in a french press....all i can say is....WOW!!!

up until now, i've always been a fru-fru coffee drinker..only Starbucks White Mocha or Salted Caramel Mocha

but this cup was a medium roast (forgot the exact name of the coffee bean) from Gorilla Coffee in Brooklyn, NYC...omg, it was sooo smooth!!!

i am now a believer.....

Re: Coffee

espresso is made under high pressure in the espresso machine, in doing so it creates the crema.

even a bialetti mokka machine gives u crema, without beating coffee grounds and without compromising on taste

here is a stove top cappuccino and latte maker, diff between this and the first one is that this one had milk in top compartment that gets heated and frothed as the coffee is made, long video but it shows the exact time it takes to have a fresh cup o cappu done, fwd to last 25 seconds to see what happens when its made.

again these are inexpensive simple ways to make coffee that is significantly better than drip etc.
if u are interested in learning how to get the right espresso machine and how to use that to make coffee at home which is as good as or better than what u find at most cafes i can help with that too

Re: Coffee

starbucks makes very hit of miss coffee, usually its roasted too much, half the barristers burn it. The milk and flavors cover it up somewhat, but if u get an espresso from there versus from a good cafe, u will taste the difference immediately, and then if u taste cappuccino or macchiato side by side, u will be able to taste the difference.

For those who like starbucks, more power to you, but there is better stuff out there.
