freitasm: My grandma used to put sugar, lots... But I don't use sugar with any type of coffee now.
thecatsgoolies:freitasm: I use instant for a cafe con leche: a cup of milk in microwave for two minutes, two spoons of instant coffee... I drink this in the morning, every day, for the last 40 something years. After that is one cafe latte in the morning and then two or three espresso during the day (when at home).
I actually think most of my liquid intake is from coffee than just water...
My nana used to do her instant this way. Schooled us kiddies into drinking coffee at a ripe old age of 9 ;-) Warmed milk, instant coffee and too much sugar lol. Miss12 has now advised me she is drinking coffee I didn't even flinch when she told me. Now if she were drinking whiskey, may be another issue

k1wi:Does anyone who uses the nespresso machines actually recycle the cups? It seems like a pretty large waste of resources otherwise.

I do, luckily there's a Nespresso shop (I refuse to call it Boutique) in Wellington

freitasm:Are they accepting the capsules at the WLG shop?
SumnerBoy: When I got my machine (Ascaso Uno) I just googled some you tube clips for how to make the perfect micro foam. It has taken a while but I am pretty happy with my milk these days. The keys I would say are to start the steam wand just on the surface of the milk so the air hole is just breaking the surface by a fraction. Do this for a few seconds (maybe 10-15) until the milk starts to warm up. Apparently once warm the milk won't form anymore bubbles so it is important you have cold fresh milk to start with. Once warm bury the wand deeper into the milk and on an angle so it starts spinning the milk. Do this until the milk gets up to about 60-65 degrees. I usually have to use a teaspoon to prevent the heavy foam on top of the milk from pouring out but most of the time I get lovely, creamy, hot milk!

Perhaps, for the benefit of the next person who can't be bothered reading 25 pages, you may like to enlighten us with your choice and why you picked it?
