Assignment:

Previous experience making good espresso is essential to follow this class.

Make an espresso/milk-based beverage with the use of a semi-automatic espresso machine, showing understand of how to make good microfoam in your drink. Share your experience and results, including what (if anything) went wrong and how you corrected it. Feel free to share which machine and grinder set-up you have so you can compare notes with fellow classmates.

Which of the 3 classic drinks did you make and which milk steaming technique did you use? e.g. a cappuccino using the standard recipe of microfoam 0.5-1cm thick.

The goals for this class are:

Deepen your understanding of what milk options are available on the current market
Knowing how to steam milk for a cappuccino or a flat white
Understanding how to use a steam wand correctly to create the needed microfoam
Understanding that its easier to practice in a larger jug e.g. 500ml as it gives you more time to work the milk

Deliverable:

I would love to see how your progress on making microfoam

Upload your projects to show everyone in the group. Before and after photos would be an excellent way of doing this
Any notes you may have taken will be useful too including your choice of milk and why.

I have attached a list of useful items readily available on Amazon and in particular, Motta milk jugs the same as I use in this class.

Have fun making lots of not-milk and please remember this is not a latté art class but a pre cursor to it.
