    Here here. Most of my day is spent asking if it's too late for coffee or too early for whiskey.

    Good morning!

    Was reading along on a coffee forum a few nights ago, and found a thread about what milk to use to steam for great foam. I found it very interesting and decided to try out the suggestion. Other than fresh from the farm, any organic whole milk that has been Ultra Pasteurized will do. Being as MOST farm milk is Ultra Pasteurized, this is the go to.

    The boys and I were shopping and I picked up a 1/2 gallon of organic UP milk..............OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!
    This does create a very thick, light foam that has a much better flavor than anything else I've ever tried!
    The best description I can come up with is warm Cool Whip that is almost as sweet.

    If you guys make a cappuccino I highly suggest this, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Just be sure it is Ultra Pasteurized

    Me, My Cremina is down...
    SO, I am doing the moka pot route:

    An old electric moka pot with fresh drip ground top quality coffee. Pot is pre-warmed with hot water but filled with cool tap water. Longer time through the grounds?

    I heat the milk in a microwave, (Must be kept below 160*F or the protein is cooked/ scalded)
    I froth it with a cheap! battery hand held mixer, the kind with a spring disk for mixing..

    A good cuppa and I am enjoying it as I type..

    Happy New Year!

    Tip o the cup to you all this morning!
    Last day off after the holidays.
    Been a nice week and a half.
    Just trying to undo some auto updates that have buggered up my cnc computer.
    Trying to do a little carving project that requires lots of caffeine to keep me alert!
    Cheers men..

    Well Mike, you've got the machine to get that caffeine boost


    Richard, you've got it no matter how you do it. Your knowledge is astounding to me about so many things.
    Thanks for all you add

    Great machine, in every way. Set the dose, the prebrew dwell time, the water temp, etc.
    Even learns your favorite size of mug.
    Love it and have no regrets in upgrading.
    Stuck with all Saeco cleaning solutions this time after seeing the damage clr did to the diverter Vv on my old unit, over time.

    Default Roasting: Behmor 1600+ BT modification

    Although I've done dozens of batches with this roaster, I've always wanted it to be able to do direct BT reading - for both fine tuning the roasts and to achieve better repeatability between them. Took me some time, but eventually I've drilled an opening in the drum's left axle, made pre-shaped guide for thermocouple probe, hooked the probe(s) (added ET probe on the same guide as well) to digital thermometer, and the meter to an old netbook with "Artisan" roasting software, and voila, here is my new setup:

    Just finished a batch on it and I already feel much more in control of what I'm doing. I think this simple modification will take my roasting up a notch - without upgrading the roaster to a more expensive model.

    I got myself a Lido-E and a Flair. We aren't allowed to have "personal electronics" at work, so I decided to try full manual espresso on my desk. I'm quite happy with it, and as an added bonus, it all packs up nicely to come home on weekends.
