Alright it’s back to business. Time to put the Evolution out of mind (temporarily) and put Silvia back to use with my new coffee skills. I realised first off that I’ll need to do some serious configuring with my grinder to get the best out of it. Next I started pulling my shots. Some over-extracting went on thanks to too coarse a grind- will adjust over the weekend- but it still wasn’t a bad start.
On to the milk. Although we were told to use fresh, full fat milk for best results in milk steaming for latte art, I only had low fat boxed milk available. Not to be deterred, I half filled my milk pitcher, recited the mantra: spout to spout, flat base, east to west and steamed. Samir would have been proud of my ‘quiet’ milk. I had achieved the desired consistency and was even able to impress Husband and Mother-in-Law with little hearts in their cappuccinos. Didn’t I feel like a shiny shilling!
Let the practice continue.
