Latte-Coffee Art

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Latte art or coffee art refers to designs created on the tops of espresso based drinks by a barista. These designs are usually created in one of two ways and sometimes using a combination of both. Latte art is considered by many consumers of coffee to be the final, crowning touch on an exquisitely prepared espresso-based beverage. Because of its visual presentation to the customer and beverage drinker and the increasing importance latte art has in cafes around the world, there is concern that taste should never become secondary to the art.

Do you need an espresso machine to make espresso coffee or can I use a regular coffee machine?

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

I want to make this recipe [http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Abbeys-White-Chocolate-Latte/Detail.aspx], but I don’t own an espresso machine. If I absolutely need one, do you think I could just substitute the espresso with regular coffee instead..or would that ruin the latte?

Thanks for the help!

No, you cannot use a regular coffee machine to make espresso — it’s a different process. And it’s not a latte if it doesn’t contain espresso, so in that sense, yes, I suppose using regular coffee would ruin it. However, it won’t explode or anything, so if you want to go ahead and do it, it might taste okay anyway. But it won’t be a latte.

Is it possible to make a really good cup of coffee with a regular coffee maker?

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

I have a Krups 10 cup coffee maker with the water filter in it. I have bought Dunkin, Starbucks, etc. & still cannot get that full flavor like they do. I follow the directions on the bags as far as the ratio of grounds to water. I would love any hints or help. Thanks!

Probably, But I don’t drink coffee.

What is a good way to switch from coffee to tea without getting sick?

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

I have tried switching once before and by day 2 I got so dizzy I could barely SEE. I am obviously addicted to coffee. I’m 20 and super healthy. Eat well. Sleep well. My only addiction is caffeine and I’d like to cut down to tea but my body can’t handle it. Maybe some type of drug could help ease the transition?

Maybe you should try to slowly ween yourself off of it for a few weeks. Start by replacing one cup of coffee with one cup of tea every day. About 3 days later, replace another cup of coffee with a cup of tea. Keep working your way up with tea until you have completely cut the coffee out. This could take a very long time if you’re very addicted to the caffeine. If cutting out a full cup is too much for your body to handle, try going by half cup increments. Likewise, if you feel that 3 days is not enough time for your body to adjust, give it a little more time (up to a week if you need it).

Where can I find a good coffee shop that roasts & sells their own beans in Minneapolis, MN?

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

I’ve recently moved to the Minneapolis area. One of the things I miss the most from my previous place of residence is the local coffee shop that roasted & sold their own beans. It was top notch coffee & much better priced than the commercialized shops. Is there anything like this in the Minneapolis area?

I’d look for any local places you can find on local.yahoo.com. You’ll know to avoid Caribou and Starbucks, but the others will probably have some good stuff!

Put coffee filters and cigarette butts down the toilet and this happened?

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

In the basement theres water all over the one spot near the pipes. like a pond and in the shower down there coffee filters, cigarette butts and coffee, maybe even some stuff from the toilet is coming up through the shower drain into the shower.. it stinks too.. what happened?

Plugged sewer line.

Sewers work better (plug less often too!)
if the only stuff that goes down the drains
are things out of or off of a human…
