Latte Art

Bicky with very little skill

Bah. Humbug. 😂👍

Bicky

Haha, could be worse I guess, but what I was mainly refering to was skill in texturing the milk. You can’t beat a steam wand, but there is a fair amount of technique involved in getting it right!

Bicky - That’s impressive for a cafetière frothing! Well done!

simonc my minima shot timer says 20-22 when I stop timing , steam time is probably 2 seconds less. Getting better results plunging nozzle after 2-3 seconds.

Finally got a ripple heart to fill the cup

CoyoteOldMan

I sometimes get the coffee and milk to fill the cup too - vertically.

Meant to have been a rosetta but ended up more like a tulip. Anyway that’s my excuse and sticking to it!

MediumRoastSteam

One of those moments where the planets aligned. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

LMSC

MediumRoastSteam What coffee is that ?

CoyoteOldMan

MediumRoastSteam the planets aligned.

And more than the planets, it seems!

“Flat White Earth” anyone?

MediumRoastSteam

LMSC That’s the Road Rash from Dark Arts :-)

Can I ask what the Road Rash is like please? Saw this yesterday and it looks like something I would really enjoy.

Also love the name - reminds me of playing this on the old Megadrive, when I was a kid.

Coffee Compass Mocha Italia Milano.

LMSC

MediumRoastSteam Nice latte art, as usual! Importantly, how did it taste?

MediumRoastSteam

LMSC - tasted what I expected it to taste from coffee compass. A nicely roasted medium roast. Very rich and flavoursome.

coffeealex

MediumRoastSteam Was the coffee similar to an Italian roast?

MediumRoastSteam

dutchy101 - the mega drive…. My cousin had one. When I asked my dad if I could have one, he told me to go and play outside. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Road Rash (coffee) is really nice. I truly enjoyed it. It’s an anaerobic fermented coffee however (read “boozy”) so it might not be everyone’s cup if you are not into light roasts and/or that sort of coffee.

dutchy101

I love boozy coffee. This makes me want it even more. £41 a kilo is pretty steep though. Having said that they do a 10% discount for new customers.

LMSC

dutchy101 that they do a 10% discount for new customers.

Where did you get that? It never saw that on my Safari and Chrome across devices, even after deleting the cookies and browsing histories, and restarting! Worth it on 1 KG, although mine was just 250g.

Weird - unless I’m making this all up - it came up as a pop-up when I visited the site yesterday, but isn’t appearing anymore.

CoyoteOldMan

dutchy101 May well be related to IP or MAC addresses… or simply something that pops up more-or-less randomly (but not every time) if a cookie hasn’t been set.
