how did you learn to do latte art? i surmise from one of your previous posts that you are a barrister, but were you also a barista?
if it comes down to expensive machine makes foaming consistent milk easy, well, again, eff it, i might just bite the bullet, though I think i'll likely buy used
------------------------------------------
speaking of buying used, any particularly good machines to get, where i can buy at say 3-5 years used, skip the depreciation, and still get 20 years out of it? |
I can't comment on latte art cause that really takes skill/practice, but in terms of getting perfectly steamed milk, it was almost second nature. Just followed general guidelines you can see on youtube, get some air incorporated and stretch it to temp, really easy and fast. But gain, very expensive machine (to me, anyway). I think current prices here in Canada are about $2400.
